Liked this one too, though it started out a bit rough. Great pacing, some actual characters other than Blandy McBland & the love of their life to whom they rarely speak. (I read the first Grishaverse book before this, lol) Inej is still my fave character (I also watched the Netflix show before I read the first book) but Jesper has a secret! What kept me reading after the start was the story between Nina & Matthias.

There's great representation, queer, ace, neurodivergent, PoC, disability - that persists, even where magic & narrative exist to 'fix' it. So extremely refreshing.

Also magic & explosions, fuck yeh
