A personagen principal Alina é chata, sem sal, só sabe reclamar, só chora, o Maly é outro chapinha. O único interessante é o Darkling, ele é charmoso, inteligente, misterioso, elegante, gosteu muito dele.
[Spoiler Free Review]I never expected this book to have me in the chokehold it has now. I've watched the first episode of the TV show back then and wasn't instantly grabbed and thought, meh, I'll watch it another time. Now that I'm back into reading I thought, hey this is right up my alley, has all the genres I like, what could go wrong?To anyone reading this: BUY IT. IF YOU LIKE THE GENRE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.I am utterly OBSESSED. I've already bought the graphic novel and the other spin-offs. I am actually in awe how much story, worldbuilding and content the author managed to pack into 350 pages. I felt like I've experienced at least 500 pages worth of story, I was emotionally destroyed at the end. And there are two wolves inside of me... one is toxic and loves the Darkling and the other is looking for a happy end and loves Mal. I just really love all these characters and I damn near ugly cried when Mal and Alina reunited. It's actually so rare to see a good male love interest, especially in a love triangle (well, it's technically not a love triangle, but in my unhinged mind it is).Also, big shoutout to the slavic inspired world. I'm russian myself and it was a pleasant surprise to see a fantasy world that has so much from my experience in it. I'm a sucker for speaking mainly english but using foreign words in between, so you can imagine the field day I had with all the russian and russian inspired words thrown in there :DSidenote: I'll be forever mad that they didn't cast a young man as the darkling, he was explicitly described to look as young as Alina or even younger, I COULD'VE HAD MY PRETTY BOY DARKLING! THE TRAGEDY. (No shade to Ben Barnes, he's fine, but the visible age gap in the show icky).
