Uff why so depressing? Meh, I honestly didn't like much about this book. I was expecting a feel-good romcom and I didn't get that. For most of the book, everyone was having a hard time both in the present and in the flashbacks and just pretending to be ok.
I didn't like the couple or the friend group, none of them communicate AT ALL, which made no sense since they're supposed to be the closest group of people. It also seemed really stupid that a group of people with such a strong bond and love for each other would fall apart because a house is being sold. If your relationship is what makes that house your happy place, then you can feel that same joy, safety, warmth anywhere else as long as you're all together. Mourning the loss of a house in such an extreme way seems exaggerated and quite childish imo.
The reason why the guy decided to break up was SO STUPID, specially after being in a relationship for eight years and being so close to actually marry? I get there had to be an excuse to break them up to have them make up again but huh???
The ending, omg, the ending. I do understand her being disillusioned with her job and what it entails. I can even understand her just wanting to leave everything for him, as a grand gesture typical of love stories. But her parents just accepting it? After how shitty they've been about expectations and sacrifice and all that? The same parents that have been and actively are abusive to their other daughter about her life and career choices? Also, leaving everything for pottery??? Something she has been doing for like two seconds on a whim?

I wish I had more context for some of the details that are being discussed here (like Pym and Midnight Mission) but I'm enjoying this story quite a bit so far.
I still really like Marc and the gang is growing on me.

Not an actual review just a few comments:
- I like Inej quite a bit but there are still aspects of her character that made me so mad. Her still doubting Kaz in this book was just innecessary and stupid. Like, do you really still believe Kaz is capable of burying a child alive? Please
- I still love love love Jesper and Wylan. Both separetly and as a couple.
- Kaz continues to be perfect
- Every time I got to a Matthias chapter, I'd groan. I feel like Bardugo had to have someone not surviving the job to justify the stakes she'd created but I thought his death was so dumb and I couldn't even feel sorry for him.
- Really liked all the twists. I saw some coming but still I liked what they added to the story.
- NIKOLAI
- “Crows remember human faces. They remember the people who feed them, who are kind to them. And the people who wrong them too. They don’t forget. They tell each other who to look after and who to watch out for.” YESS I LOVE CROWS SO MUCHESS I LOVE CROWS SO MUCH

Quite disappointed tbh.
For a story that centers around Peter and Gwen's love story, we don't learn much about Gwen or why Peter fell in love with her, other than her being attractive.
Also, MJ rubbed me the wrong way here and that ending was...not great imo.
