I don't want to read the grishaverse books cause LB messed up the names. it should be alina STARKOVA, NOT starkov. and mal is not the kind of nicknames people used at that time! mal is so american! and LB's setting is in 1800s russia, at least get the names right!

i know it is kind of pointless because this is a pseudo world but idk it kinda turned me off. the characters dont have patronymics, there is no distinction between diminutive names and first names and everyone seems to have just one name and if there are any intimate terms people call their close ones, its nothing that 1800s russians would use!

these are not russian names, these are names that people think are russian names.

#idk #this kept bothering me throught the first novel #also i wasnt satisfied with the story #everythibg seems os bland and i constantly feel like its the same trope #of a teenage girl with all the odds against her #anf like yeah sure maybe it is a good novel from the prspective of the ya enthusiasts #but ive just read so many others that just are better than this book #but idk i guess my taste in literature has just changed drastically these past few years #i dont seem to like the books which i would have drooled over once upon a time
