18yo Alina and Mal have escaped the Fold but soon they’re under the Darkling’s clutches again. They sail to find the sea whip to use as an amplifier for Alina’s power but she isn’t satisfied and wants to find the Firebird to use as a third amplifier. She's beginning to crave more power. Alina learns that the amplifiers were not discovered, but created, which makes their safety more questionable and makes them even more of a mystery. Lives are lost and some are forever changed in the battle with the Darkling.
I enjoyed the world-building and the unsureness of what lies ahead. The characters are dynamic. I like how Bardugo changed Alina to let the magic become part of who she is. The ethnicity is full of mixed races in the Grishaverse.
