I have to think about how to review this one because I'm torn.
On the one hand, there were a lot of convenient things that happened to make this turn out all sunshine and lollipops.
On the other hand, there were a lot of convenient things that happened to make this turn out all sunshine and lollipops.
And, really, would it have been so awful if Alina had just gotten together with the Darkling in the first place, unified their power to stop all of the war, and maybe she could have brought out his humanity with her light to his darkness? It would have saved a LOT of lives.
But, whatever, this ending was fine too. I guess.

the problem is, Alina doesn't have much light and wit to begin with. The Darkling has no reason to want her aside from wanting her power.

Lol. I get you point, Ate Jilly. At least you're fine with the ending as it is.^^

Very true, Mizuki! ;-)
thought for two seconds about revisiting this because of the tv show, but then I remembered that I love myself haha.
I was going to try reading this series since the show came out but I don't like how it ends. I already want her with the bad guy, even without having met him. I just do. Screw Mal.
