I would love to get to see things from Genya's point of view more, she is one of my favorites ( )

4/5

- Made the story more interesting since it's from a different point of view
- Made me more empathetic to Genya
- It didn't really give away much
- I need more and it felt incomplete
- Beautiful writing ( )

I can't believe this! I felt sorry for Alina for trusting her... ( )

Spring 2021 (March);
Grishaverse Full Read April/March in preparation for Shadow & Bone TV Series

Always a delight and such a warm wrap-around love. I always madly adore getting to drop into Russian retellings, with their own deep histories and new magical systems.

This whole series is going to be rated in fives. I hope you are ready.

I love this character so very much and I feel like she was done so much justice, both by the series and by this small side piece. I feel like it's greatly flushed out, for what she has been through, what she found herself caught in, how her heart pulled to both directions, and where she ended up in the end. I want to hug her and shake her shoulders and it's so perfect. ( )

It hurts, but I can bear it. Because I am a doll, and a servant. Because I am a pretty thing and a soldier all the same.

I wish it was longer 😢 ( )
