"fine. make me your villain"

see the thing is, my expectations weren't that high from the beginning anyway, so i'm not surprised to say that i didn't enjoy it as much. in fact, i only read it because it has been on my shelves for nearly two years & i want to finally read six of crows & king of scars

did i fall for the darkling? yes
would i do it again? also yes

"i've been waiting for you a long time, alina.
you and i are going to change the world"


i mean, come on.. if anyone would’ve said that to me, i would fall head over heels for him 😮‍💨

i've heard a lot about zoya & when she finally appeared in the book, i was a bit surprised that she wasn't that nice but i guess she'll grow on me and oh, oh my god i love genya (my beloved) 💕💘💗💞💖

— it wasn't a bad book but it wasn't that great either. anyways, watch me speed read through siege & storm because i want to meet nikolai 🤭

Niki Hi Vanessa could you read ” Live your best lie ” its like gossip girls/ a good girls gudie to murder . Its about a a girl who name is summer that got murderd in her own halloween party 😀


McDoodles Omg you’re gonna love it


Leonie (semi hiatus) I thought the show was better than the books (at least season 1). Hope you´ll enjoy :)

vee! @bree yup same!!


message 21: by vee! (new) - rated it 3 stars

vee! @niki i‘ll put it on my tbr :)

vee! @mcdoodle i‘m really excited to continue the series 💕


message 23: by vee! (new) - rated it 3 stars

vee! @leonie just started season 1 and can already confirm that you’re right 😭


elin ୨୧ I love this series! Ruin and rising is definitely the best


message 25: by vee! (new) - rated it 3 stars

vee! @elin this relieved me because siege & storm is meh😭


McDoodles The series also gets better over time, the first one was my least favorite


message 27: by elyanna♡ (new)

elyanna♡ is it necessary to read the shadow & bone trilogy before reading six of crows duet? in my defense, I watched the show so I already have some knowledge 😭 I’m so conflicted


elin ୨୧ @elyanna imo you should read the shadow and bone series because it’s rly good, but if you don’t want to read it before six of crows you don’t have to. If you want to continue on to the king of scars duology after the six of crows duology i reccomend reading sab first


message 29: by vee! (new) - rated it 3 stars

vee! @mcdoodle i‘m currently on the last book! book two was definitely better than book one


message 30: by vee! (new) - rated it 3 stars

vee! @elyanna yes i agree with @elin!! i mean i haven’t read soc yet so idk HOW necessary it is but i do know that it’s helpful to understand the world better if you have :)


♊️⭐️☮️ the first one was so underwhelming for me but I can’t wait for you to meet nikolai <3


Ri ♡ Same I want to read this just so i can read six of crows 😭 and darkling is just 🛐🔥


vio no longer here Love this review!! I hope to see you meet our prince Nikolai and how 3 of them was going to shake the whole Ravka. And yessss I love darkling too, who doesn't love him? I mean look at your first quote in the review, if that isn't a thirst trap idk what is 🤭🤭🤭🤭


message 34: by elyanna♡ (new)

elyanna♡ @vee @elin !! thank you guys!!! I did plan on reading the king of scars duet as well so I’ll read the shadow & bone trilogy first then!!!!
