(view spoiler)[Yeah, I really like the others (particularly Inej and Matthias) but I don't feel like there was enough Kaz. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I need more Kaz! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

I finally finished it! Thanks CP for encouraging me to keep reading it while taking my time and just enjoy it :D

(view spoiler)[I'm so mad to Leigh Bardugo for killing Matthias, but I guess I can take it. I mean it isn't a perfect ending for all of the characters but it makes sense, in a way. And there are still left unclear, such as Nina's new power. But I'm quite satisfy with it. (hide spoiler)] So 4.5 stars but I round it up to 5 stars because I just love Kaz and his brain so much :D

[Meaghan]

I finally got my copy!! Starting it tonight!

[C.P.]

So glad you enjoyed it, Rachmi!

[Meaghan]

Finally finally finished!

(view spoiler)[Yea I'm dying! Inej is my favorite character, and I hate to see her go through so much doubt about herself and worth to Kaz and the crew ): (hide spoiler)]

Tati wrote: "52% O-kay, we've officially hit the part were everything goes wrong...

Also, Wylan and Jesper, can you please follow Nina and Matthias' lead? Please and thank you. "

(view spoiler)[I agree!! I just want them to accept their desires xD but yea everything is going wrong now and I'm extremely worried o.o (hide spoiler)]

Tati wrote: "I do!!! He wasn't the nicest character at first, but he definitely grew on me!

I'd have to say I like the whole gang, though"

Matthias definitely grew on me too! So we've got a whole bunch of Matthias defenders here!

[C.P.]

Aside from Kaz and Inej Matthias is my favorite. I don't remember liking him as much thw first time I read Six of Crows, but the second time I loved him. And he was famtastic in here.

That chick who tried to kill Inej is insane. And obviously some..."

[Tayla]

Interested

[Xiamera]

4% (view spoiler)[Lol Wylan isn't cut out for this undercover work it seems. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

12% (view spoiler)[Releases breath. Whew! I was scared for a second there that Inej's leg would have been broken. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

25% (view spoiler)[Jesper has a serious addiction. Good thing that explosion came when it did. (hide spoiler)]
31% (view spoiler)[Uh. I don't like Kaz being held hostage either. It is due to Kaz, mostly, that they even got Inej back and will still profit from what turned into a debacle. (hide spoiler)]
45% “Big trouble in Little Ravka?” asked Jesper.
Has Ms. Bardugo watched Big Trouble in Little China? Lol
46% (view spoiler)[When will these people realise that you'll almost never be able to pull a fast one on Kaz? Y'all just not that clever Jesper and Wylan. (hide spoiler)]
47% (view spoiler)[That's am interesting idea. That Jesper's addiction to gambling is a side effect of suppressing his powers. (hide spoiler)]
56% (view spoiler)[Wylan is so annoying sometimes. Sorry all the time. (hide spoiler)]
68% (view spoiler)[Aw, Kaz. There's peace for you. You deserve a happy ending. (hide spoiler)]
71% (view spoiler)[Wait a minute what are all these people from the Grisha trilogy doing here? Especially Nikolai and how did he get there? (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

97% (view spoiler)[The sweetest part in this whole book: 'She felt his knuckles slide against hers. Then his hand was in her hand, his palm pressed against her own. A tremor moved through him. Slowly, he let their fingers entwine.'
Oh Kaz. I'm so happy with this monumental effort. Totally made it worth it. (hide spoiler)]

[Xiamera]

Finished. I enjoyed the hell out of this book!

[Brooke]

[Dr. Andy]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ Wow Van Eck is such a jerk. Yay for Wylan's mother being alive, but in an asylum!? Why say she's dead? Just tell the truth. I really hope this plan works out but I have a terrible feeling about it. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ Pekka fucking Rollins. He is the absolute worst! Of course he'd ruin everything. I hope Kaz makes him pay. And Inej needs to find a way to best Dunyasha. Way to go Nina with your zombies!! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ So glad Kaz ousted Per Haskell. And omg Inej and Kaz should definitely be a thing. AND THEN WESPER FINALLY. IM DYING BECAUSE OF THESE SHIPS. And way to go Nina, get those barbs in on Van Eck xD (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

Might start this a few days early as my library book is due back on the 18th. If this duology is as good as everybody says then I will probably be purchasing my own copies, anyway!

[CallMeSensei]

I'm starting this BR a bit early! Hoping to get it
read in 2 days cause I have another BR starting on the 18th! 0.o

Part One: Forsaken (ch 1-4): (view spoiler)[
It's really weird that Wylan still looks like Kuwei. I imagine that's going to cause some trouble further in.

I feel so bad for Inej! I really don't want anything to happen to her. And it looks like Kaz might not be right about where she's at. :( (hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Part Two: A Killing Wind (ch 5-10): (view spoiler)[ I love that we get to meet Jesper's dad! I hope he eventually calls Jes out on his BS!

Poor Nina. She can't seem to get away from the parem. I wonder what it's done to her abilities...?
(hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Part Three: Brick by Brick (ch 11-16): (view spoiler)[
Yay! Kaz outsmarted Van Eck to get Inej back! I guess I should've expected that from Kaz. Super happy Inej is back too. But I'm kind of mad at her & Kaz for not having a more heartfelt reunion. COME ON!

I felt super bad for Wylan--finding out what his dad did to his mom. I guess I should've seen that coming too (especially since I love Victorian novels...) .BUT POOR WYLAN! :(

Things aren't looking too good for the group at the end of Part 3 :/
(hide spoiler)]

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Part One: (view spoiler)[ Did Kaz even have the right guess for Inej's location? Why hasn't he come yet? (hide spoiler)]

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

@Jordan (part one): That's what I'm afraid of as well!

[CallMeSensei]

Kim at Divergent Gryffindor wrote: "@Jordan (part one): That's what I'm afraid of as well!"

I don't like when authors hurt my faves! :(

[CallMeSensei]

Part Four: The Unexpected Visitor (ch 17-23): (view spoiler)[
Oh shit! How did Pekka Rollins find them?!?! I'm really interested to see how they make it out of this one... I'm super afraid that they won't all make it out! This book is stressful! :/
(hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Part Five: Kings & Queens (ch 24-32): (view spoiler)[
Squeeeeeeeeeee! That Jesper/Wylan kiss <3

Also, I'm onto you this time Bardugo. You're not telling us something. Sneaky, sneaky.
(hide spoiler)]

[CallMeSensei]

Part Six: Action & Echo (ch 33-45): DONE! :) (view spoiler)[
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Matthais is gone :( Poor Nina. (Is it bad that I'm just glad it isn't Inej or Kaz?)

What Kaz does for Inej at the end... that's so freaking sweet. Who knew he was such a sap...

And Inej... oh girl, you are my favorite <3

But I'm kind of sad some of the plot elements didn't get wrapped up...? Like what will happen with the parem and with the Shu and their experiments? Is there more to be written in the Grishaverse?
(hide spoiler)]

With this book though, I can't pick a favorite among the crew. I love all of them, haha!

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[ OMG trust Kaz to always have something up his sleeve. It wouldn't be Kaz if he didn't know where Inej was kept. Although what the heck is happening towards the end? What are those, machines? This is so exciting! (hide spoiler)]

Ongoing Part 3 (view spoiler)[ I should just start expecting plan bombs from Kaz at this point because he just does everything without telling anyone about it. But no doubt that he's really smart. (hide spoiler)]
