Darkness never dies.

Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.

The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her–or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

My Opinion:
This book was just on 100. So much happened in its little 435 pages. I couldn't possibly keep up. There were lots of suprises in its pages. The characters were okay, but Alina and Mal got on my nerves. They were so stubborn and crazy. Now this book isnt on my top ten, twenty, or even thirty. It wasn't bad, but I felt that it could have been so much more. I do recommend reading it, but it is not a must read.  I will continue to read the series though; I need to know what happens.
