"Darkness never dies.
Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her—or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm."
This is the second book in Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse Series, which is a fresh take on Russian fairytales and mythology! This book continues Alina's fight against The Darkling to save Ravka and the rest of the world. I enjoyed this book just slightly less than I did the first one. Actual star rating is 3.5. Sometimes second books in trilogies have a tendency to drag on without adding much to the overall plot of the series. This one did have some slow parts, but I loved the addition of the new characters, which made up for it. I'm curious to finish this series!
