Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[I love how we get their journey and more of Ravka and their legends and history. Also, being so close and away from the rest of the group, shows Nikolai and Zoya's relationship more. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ Nikolai always tried to do the right thing. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[ I'm having trouble envisioning where they are. Is this just some desert void? And I want more Nina chapters. I love her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[Poor Isaak is trying so hard and he's so hard on himself for making mistakes. He was not prepped for this nearly enough. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 30
(view spoiler)[ The betrayal. I expected it from Yuri honestly. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ He's back!? (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[ Isaac is trying his best, and despite him mistakes they're buying it.
The door to the royal chambers rigged with poison gas? On the first day? lol, wonder what is to come. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25
(view spoiler)[ I can't believe they almost made 9 year-old Zoya marry an old man. It's wonderful that her aunt was there for her. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I didn't expect it, but I never did like Elizaveta. I do wonder where Juris is, though. I trust him. (hide spoiler)]

[Prisha]

Chapter 32
(view spoiler)[ I can't believe Juris died! But at least it wouldn't go to waste. Zoya can save everyone now... right? (hide spoiler)]
