theres no real development? Like its good, i like it, but theres no consistency? Like she just knows wat to do when both times before shes just been reacting blindly, how has she larned how to harness this? The love interests are obvious (which i dot mind, im a slut for y/a romance) and we can assume that theres some form of develpmemt previously between her an Mal, and shes consistent w her thoughts regarding him. And i understand that the things ive noticed about the darkling are specifically about how IM taking it, but he wording is important and will OBVIOUSLY lead to smth so i can only hope bardugo develops it better before hat point
