I've been waiting for a while to read this book, and the only disappointing thing is how long I have to wait to see what happens next!
However, I wanted to read this book because I kept seeing things online about its release. I did not do my due diligence and look into anything but the description. So, I did not know that this book follows up after the Grisha series...
So, while it took me a while to get used to the lingo, especially the names of locations and different groups of people, I cannot blame anyone but myself. While reading the Grisha series would have helped this, it is in no way required to understand this book. I quickly caught on upon reading further and was sucked in quickly, forgetting my initial confusion about the language.
I enjoyed the way the book was written. It gives the same events told from different POVs. I liked being able to understand different perspective of the events that unfold in the book.
Great story! Can't wait to read the next installment! I plan to read the Grisha series before the next book is released so that I understand more about their world and its background.
