My original attraction to the book came from hearing what a fantastic LGBT+ story it was - something that always catches my attention when I'm grasping for some kind of representation. It lived up to all of my expectations. It started a bit slow, seeing as I'm usually one for adventure and fantasy, but once I got into the book and the manner that Saenz writes, I couldn't put it down. As the heading might suggest, it certainly cried, especially towards the end of the book.
If you want a book that explores love and relationships, familial, platonic, and romantic, I would highly suggest picking up this book. Hopefully, people will read this book at the right time in their lives to be able to have this book effect them as positively as it has me.

Getting to know these character for two/three books and having that come to an end is utterly heartbreaking in the best way possible. While some questions remain, I have a feeling they'll be answered in the rest of the Grishaverse books, and those that will remain unanswered will either keep me coming back or keep me discussing the possibilities obsessively with the few people I know who've also read the series. Characters have gained depth, and plenty is set up to link in the other works from Bardugo. Even some of the characters that I felt were one-dimensional became well-rounded and have managed to take up their own place in my heart.
Genuinely, I cannot say how I feel about the series coming to an end. The ending itself I love - but to leave this series behind will take a lot of effort on my part.
