The world itself was interesting to learn about, and I loved how it seems to be somewhat based off Russia.
The main problem I had with it though was Alina she was so naive which didn't make much sense to me. Considering the fact that she was in the First Army, and had been an orphan I was expecting her to be more of a hero and less of a damsel in distress.
I am happy to see though that their wont be any love triangle. Well that was also kind of saddening to since it seems like the Darkling could have been an interesting character but seems to have just been made the villain way to easily.
It was nice to see a book in a series end in a way where it could have been a stand alone. But now onto reading the second book!
