Chapter 1-5 (view spoiler)[ Kaz talking to that little girl was pretty funny. I liked seeing them do another heist, especially since it went smoothly. I hope they get Inej back soon! Poor girl (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Part 1
(view spoiler)[ They need to hurry up and save Inej. I hated seeing her scared to break her legs. :( I wonder if Kaz got the right location?? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Stella wrote: "Part 1
[spoilers removed]"

Yeah that part was intense!

[Aly]

Chapter 6-10 (Part 2) (view spoiler)[ Oh Inej, I feel bad that she doesn't know that Kaz is coming for her. Stay strong girl!
I laughed when Wylan's stepmom kept humming and singing, even in her sleep ha. (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[They got Inej back, and Kaz still calls her the Wraith. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 11-15 (view spoiler)[ Wylan's story broke my heart. For a father to want his son killed because he can't read, what the fuck.
Then he finds out that his mom is alive too? I hope they ruin his father and he dies alone and miserable (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[ So did the parem give Nina different powers? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Stella wrote: "Chapter 13
[spoilers removed]"

I wonder that too!

[Aly]

Ch 16-20 (view spoiler)[ I like Jesper's dad and his mom dying was really sad. I understand why his dad wants him to hide his abilities so he stays safe.
Inej may have been bested by a psycho! I hope she's okay (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Part three
(view spoiler)[Yay for Wylan's mom for being alive, but an asylum!!?
I like learning about Jesper's and Wylan's past stories, it makes this book lot more emotional. (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to see Kaz and the crew destroy him.

(view spoiler)[ I know, happy she's alive but WTF Wylan's dad? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 21-25 (view spoiler)[ Even though Kaz was looking out for himself, I'm glad he saved Wylan from the dye factory and watched over him.
Poor Jesper, kissing the wrong guy! lol (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Part Four
(view spoiler)[ I wonder how they are going to make it out of this one. How did Pekka Rollins find them?!!
Nina's powers sound a lot like she can control a whole zombie army. It's very creepy, but cool.
"You're better than waffles, Matthias Helvar." AHH!!! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[ Wylan has a good point about Jesper's ability to shoot really good. And Wylan and Jasper kissed finally!!! (hide spoiler)]

Zombies!!

Stella wrote: "Chapter 29

Yes I was so happy about that

[Aly]

Ch 26-30 (view spoiler)[ Okay, I'm so happy that Wylan and Jesper kissed! They're a great couple.
I feel bad that Kaz can't stand to touch others. I hope Inej can help him get over his PTSD a little. (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Part five
(view spoiler)[ Did Wylan really tell his father everything?!? I really hope he lied.
I hope Jesper's dad is okay, it was such a sweet moment when he told Wylan that he would be good for Jesper. (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I can't believe Matthias died. Poor Nina. :(
What Kaz did for Inej is so sweet. THEY HELD HANDS!!
And Wylan and Jesper are so cute together! <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 31-35 (view spoiler)[ I love when plans come together. Kaz really fooled Van Eck, making him part of the story. I also loved seeing Sturgis, Genya, and Zoya again! (hide spoiler)]

Yes, very cute scene!

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ When Mattias died I almost cried. I knew it was coming but it's so awful.
I'm glad the other characters ended up happy, especially Kaz sort of admitting that he cares for Inej. I hope we get to see all of them again at some point. (hide spoiler)]

[Iris]

Part 1 (view spoiler)[Wylan is waaaay to innocent to hung out with Kaz lol If Kaz doesn't find Inej, I'm sure she'll end up saving herself (hide spoiler)]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[Lol, Alys driving everybody mad, I'm loving it. And who sent the Shu after Nina? Or after the Grisha? Is Jesper's dad connected to that? (hide spoiler)]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[OK, this part, Jan Van Eck is the worst a-hole, I hope Wylan can somehow get his mother out of the asylum. Nina is too much for Matthias, it's very funny to see her flirt with him and he doesn't know what to do lol (hide spoiler)]

Part 4 (view spoiler)[So Pekka Rollins pulled a Kaz Brekker on Kaz Brekker. So Nina can control dead people, good to know (hide spoiler)]

Part 5 (view spoiler)[Jesper kissing Kuwei, I'm dying, poor Wylan, he can't catch a break. And he's right, he's not like the rest, that's why he told his father everything... I hope Kaz foresaw this with his crystal ball or something. (hide spoiler)]

Part 6 (view spoiler)[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WTF? Matthias can't be dead, ffs. Lmao, I love Wylan so much, I hope he can sort his future and be a better man than his father. Ok, the happiest part of this book is Inej reuniting with her family (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Matthias's death was the worst, but Inej reuniting with her parents and holding Kaz's hand was the best part (hide spoiler)]

Hi, is it possible for you to please remove the spoiler from your comment? I really don't want anyone else to get spoiled!

(view spoiler)[I loved Alys in this, even though she drove everyone mad XD she was such great comic relief!

Pekka Rollins and Kaz Brekker trying to outdo each other with the increasing convolutedness of their schemes is really entertaining, except when it results in someone nearly dying...

That scene with Jesper was honestly so INFURIATING. I wanted to slap both him and Kuwei.

'Kaz foresaw it with his crystal ball' XD, Kaz literally has a contingency plan for EVERYTHING.

That is definitely the happiest part of this book, right after the saddest *sobbing* (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I agree, that whole scene was just so fulfilling that I then read and reread it again because I needed it after the disaster. (hide spoiler)]
