The capital has fallen.
The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne.
Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.
Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.
Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction—and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she’s fighting for. ...more

Sarah YES. Why do people think this was a satisfying ending? It was cliched, predictable and worse - it's mediocrity left me agitated.
I wish the author…moreYES. Why do people think this was a satisfying ending? It was cliched, predictable and worse - it's mediocrity left me agitated.
I wish the author would have come up with an ending that was .. darker and less predictable. A more unconventional happy ending or even an open ending would have been better.(less)
I already know that I'm seriously going to regret asking this but.....Who does Alina end up with..?

Pasop mense, hier is klomp spoilers!
Ok die derde boek was vir my oraait, ek sal nou nie rondomtalie daaroor nie. Die boek was darem heel oukei geskryf maar genigtig dit was stadig.
Die groepie het nou ontsnap van die Apparat en is opsoek na die legendariese feniks, Ravka. Sy bene is glo die laaste amplifier, die een van die drie, wat oorbly van Morozova se goedjies. Ek was mal daaroor dat boek weer vertel het van Baghra, my gunsteling karakter. Sy het vir Alina weer gehelp maar het toe selfmoord Pasop mense, hier is klomp spoilers!

Die groepie het nou ontsnap van die Apparat en is opsoek na die legendariese feniks, Ravka. Sy bene is glo die laaste amplifier, die een van die drie, wat oorbly van Morozova se goedjies. Ek was mal daaroor dat boek weer vertel het van Baghra, my gunsteling karakter. Sy het vir Alina weer gehelp maar het toe selfmoord gepleeg om die groepie te red.
Ek hou nogal van Alina maar gah sy was effens hier irriterend in die einde. En natuurlik het simpel, losbandige Mal nie gedooi soos wat ek gehoop het nie. Dankie tog Genya n David is shap, ek is mal oor die tweetjies! Ekt tot van Zoya begin hou. En ai die Darkling, ek is dol oor hom al is hy so stapelgek. Ons het uiteindelik sy naam uitgevind, maar soos Alina gesê het kon mens dit in dertig sekondes geraai het.
Ek was nou nie te mal oor die einde nie. Natuurlik is Mal die spesiale een en ugh moet eerlik wees ek was bly toe hy dood was. En ekt al baie in die ander resensies gelees dat die mense daarvan hou dat die Darkling soos n doodgewone persoon gesterf het, maar steeds ekt gehoop hy n Alina eindig saam. Sy kon tot met Nikolai, pragtige Nikolai, getrou het ma dit moes mos nou Mal gewees het. Ek het nogal van die After-hoofstuk gehou en dat Alina n Mal die weeshuis in Keramzin met Nikolai se ring gaan koop het. Maar steeds arme Baghra.. :( ...more
