I wanted to love this series so much but sadly that didn't happen. I struggled through most of this and it's my least favourite read this year. Book 1 I struggled to connect with Alina as her personality shifted with each chapter. Book 2 got better but I just couldn't see the Darkling as evil, he was too nice for the main baddy. Book 3 was good but I found the ending a tad lack lustre. Do I now go onto read Six of Crows after this disappointment?
