Synopsis:
The Demon King. As Fjerda’s massive army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm—and even the monster within—to win this fight. But a dark threat looms that cannot be defeated by a young king’s gift for the impossible.
The Stormwitch. Zoya Nazyalensky has lost too much to war. She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and she refuses to bury another friend. Now duty demands she embrace her powers to become the weapon her country needs. No matter the cost.
The Queen of Mourning. Deep undercover, Nina Zenik risks discovery and death as she wages war on Fjerda from inside its capital. But her desire for revenge may cost her country its chance at freedom and Nina the chance to heal her grieving heart.
King. General. Spy. Together they must find a way to forge a future in the darkness. Or watch a nation fall
Review:
Did I see that ending coming? Yep, might have been something that I was told about, but regardless if you didn’t see that ending coming…. *shrugs* It will be exciting to read more books in this world, I absolutely love them!
Am I mostly here for The Darkling and Nina?? Why yes I am!?! Seriously I adore these two absolutely adore them. Nina is evolving and growing stronger as a character and I am here for it, that cute little waffle. Zoya is amazing! Zoya’s power and personality really shine in this book compared to the previous ones. Nikolai, well, he isn’t a favourite, but I can see how the plot needs him.
There is no denying that Bardugo knows how to write. There isn’t really a way to fault her style of writing. She delivers epic and brilliant characters and storylines, her writing is perfection, pace, and entertainment wise. Honestly, this book trust warms my damn soul.
