Rating: 4 My rating for this book is a 4 because the book had a great plot line and it was well written. I also think that the book was using too much suspense at times which is why this is not a 4.5.
Rating: 3 My rating for this book is a 3 because the book is bland in my opinion and does not have intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest and I believe the main reason was that the plot was pretty basic and I don't think it will hook many readers.

Bardugo does a fantastic job of world building; from the moment the book starts, you immediately feel like you are in the Grishaverse with Alina. The imagery the novel provided was spectacular, and I was hooked off the bat. The concept was very unique, and it made me that much more engaged.
