When Alina and Mal were being attacked by volcra, mal got injured and Alina stood over him to protect him then a sudden white light appeared which seems to have come out of her, and she was brought back to the campsite, and now she is a grisha

also is Alexei is DEAD

Alina since chapter 1 has made it very obvious that she has a big fat crush on Mal and has made every interaction in the book with him really awkward.

Alina and the darkling rode horses to the "little tower" even tho it was still massive it was the smallest building

The darkilng cut someone in half and Alina is traumatized now

The Darkling was mentioned in earlier chapters, but he has now is a bigger part of the story and has meat the Main character and is mentioned more frequently in the few chapters we read in the most recent selection

Kaitlyn

Alina's interactions with any male character is always super award and descriptive. Espacaliy with Mal, who is basically in the book as the love interest. That is it.

the king was introduced and genya dressed her up and used the grisha magic to edited to her face (just fixing it up a little) also she was forced naked and then shoved into a bathtub

after that she met the king and was confirmed to be a sun summoner

After the survents got Alina ready she was taken to the Grand castle. It lives up to it's titale as it is describe with a lot of white and gold and was very very big which makes sense because it is called the GRAND castle.

The Darkling tells Genya to make Alina'a kefta black but Alina told him that she wanted blue for some reason.

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
Genya took Alina to see a metal work named David. Based on the fact that they took time to describe him he might become more mentioned character.

Alina was sent to a little old wooden hut to meet Baghra so she can start training with her abilities, knowing that she can't summon her power. Despite this Baghra uses her amplifying ability and then tells her to try to do it herself, when she can't Baghra yells at her and hits her with her stick.

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
Ever since Alina found out that she can summon the sun (she's a Sun Summoner) she has had many doubts that she will never be able to use her powers. I believe that she will overcome this doubt and learn to use her powers. I think that a potable theme is perseverance because Alina has to push through the challenges ahead of her in order to use and master her powers.

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
A strong summoner named zoya was introduced and then her and Alina fought and of course Alina won but zoya got mad and hurt Alina badly, and she passed out!!!!

-jasmine

# data[].attributes.body
After Alina passed out, when she woke up she saw the Apparat. The Apparat was being really creepy and weird towards Alina. Honestly the worst character.

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
The darkling randomly decided to kiss Alina and she wouldn't stop thinking about it for the whole chapter!!!

i predict that they will probably get together by the end of the book

she stopped being a loser and she has a social life now!>!> she is kinda strong now as well

-jasmine

In chapter 12 Alina finally moved on from Mal and is now able to use her powers. This was a major block for her, but she preserved, and now she can now use her powers.

But with this, Bagrha is now a lot more tough on Alina.

Despite this, I believe that Alina will master her powers because of Bagrha.

After Alina left the ballroom she ran in to Mal who was a Huge JERK. He had a whole argument and insulted her, I mean who does after your child friend was taken away, and you had no clue what happened to her, who's first reaction is to be a huge jerk.

I mean it might have developed both characters but STILL.

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
In the new chapter, a few relationships with the main changed. Mal came to the little palace and was very mean to Alina (they're childhood friends) and claimed to not receive any of the letter that she sent to him. And left rudely, which left her in tears.

Then with her and the darkling, he seems to love her (he kissed her randomly) and told her that he could be doing other things but chose to stay for her.

-jasmine

# data[].attributes.body
In the book, I believe that another possibly theme is the struggle of moving on because Alina always mentions Mal and despite the fact that she believes that he has moved on she still cares about him and was really upset when she finally sees him again he gets into an argument with him, and he insults her.

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
Mal has had the weirdest character arc, from being the main character's light-hearted childhood friend to a cold-hearted jerk and then a cold-hearted friend who is trying to help the main character run away. Like what?

-Kaitlyn

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Mal is going to die. I made a post like this before, but I believe he will sacrifice himself for Alina to make an escape if they get ambushed be the Darkling's men.

# data[].attributes.body
Me and My group got the dates mixed up, so I can't post anything because spoilers. But we will get back on track next meeting. Sorry

I wonder how the book will end. I know that there are other books in the series, but things do not look like it is going to end well. How will the book end? Will Mal be killed? What is going to happen in the other books?

# data[].attributes.body
mals gonna die. Him and alina were found by the darkling he has the stag so alina is in danger and mal is gonna sliced.

-jasmine

# data[].attributes.body
mal saved Alina and they are friends again. Even tho it's different now, they still got along and even went to a weird cheese mart thing, but then they ran into some people and got robbed. They didn't care and carried on. BUT THEY KISSED...... so i think they are a lttle more then friends. ANd they are gonna die hahah

-jasmine

# data[].attributes.body
A possible theme is probably slavery because after Alina and Mal were captured the Darkling put the Stag (which is now a collar) on her she now is forsted to do whatever the Darkling says

2/5

it was pretty bad at the beginning and end. During the middle of the book it wasn't that bad (I liked genya) but other than that it was pretty weird and the ending has so much build up just for Alina to use the power of friendship to save her and mal from the darkling which really sucks in my opinion.

Then her and mal sailed off to another country to escape somehow, which was pretty random. it was better before mal got captured and him and Alina were running in the forest away from the darkling, and they got caught. Then after that, it sucked again.

2/5

The book felt very bland. I really felt that the book could have a stronger ending because the ending was just really lacking and felt empty. I feel like the ending would be better if Mal actually died and Alina became independent, it would make the ending feel a lot better than the actually ending. Plus, the beginning was just so boring. I know it's world building, but it was just so long and took like 10 chapters to build the world. The middle of the book was ok, it was probably the only decent part of the book. I typically like fantasy, but this was just so bland and missing some things that would make the book so much better.
