“There is no safe place for the Grisha. There is no haven. Not for us.” ​There will be, he promised in the darkness, new words written upon his heart. I will make one.

This short story gives us an insight into the old Ravka, where the Grisha were unwelcome, through the eyes of a young darkling. It depicts what he had to go through as a child and the isolation and loneliness he feels due to his powers. The darkling is an extremely well developed character and this small point of view from a young darkling helps us understand his motives better, builds his character and makes him more interesting

The only complaint i have is that it's only 40 pages long :') i NEED more from the darkling's pov.
