I have no words.
(SPOILERS AHEAD)


THE PLOT:
I never realized how much I liked chaos until now.

THE CHARACTERS

Wylan Van Eck, my wonderful gay explosives-loving son: I love him more than words can express. His character is nuanced, and everything about him is really well written. I love how he is simultaneously a cinnamon roll and salty.
"How about I push you in the canal and we see if you know how to swim?"
" He was Wylan Van Eck, and he told them everything."

Inej Ghafa: Poor, poor Inej. You deserved better. (Also, her mentions in Rule of Wolves? I'm so proud T-T)
"When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway."

Jesper Fahey: Tied with Inej for second favorite character. I'm really happy there's so much bi representation here. Also, the character development is so good here breaks down into tears
"The same thing I always do. I took a shot."

Nina Zenik: As a bisexual fat girl, she is an amazing literary role model!! Her addiction is also really well handled.
"She was the Queen of Mourning, and in its depths she would never drown."

Kuwei Yul-Bo: Criminally underrated.

Kaz Brekker: He also has really good character development.
"He knew exactly what he intended to leave behind when he was gone. Damage."

Matthias Helvar: I think his death was a really important part of his redemption arc. He just wanted to change the little boy who shot him for the better.

Favorite scenes:
1. Kaz and Wylan fall through the ceiling
2. The conversation involving such gems as "Nina can raise the dead"
3. Fjerdan might
