So when Mal does not hear from Alina, he throws himself into a mission that will get him to her - tracking Morozova's Stag. Mal has Alina and his tracker friends, Mikhael and Dubrov. Evidently, something - or someone - is blocking their letters.īut Alina has a lot of other things going for her. He has been writing letters to her this entire time, and he also has not heard back from her. That could not be further from the truth - Mal seems to think the same thing about Alina. She genuinely believes Mal does not care about her anymore, that he cannot even reply to a single letter, that he has outgrown their friendship. They go horseback riding and bond over shared feelings of loneliness and vulnerability.īut the most heartbreaking aspect of Alina's decision is how uninformed it is. On the one hand, Alina and Kirigan grow closer. You and I are going to change the world, Alina.īut Alina seems to be getting the most inspiration from the two men in her life - Mal and Kirigan. You and I are going to change the world, Alina. Kirigan: If you believe anything, believe I will not let that happen.Īlina: I appreciate the sentiment, but. Only if I fail, they'll turn on me, and I'll be the brand-new Heretic. And they always need someone to blame.Īlina: That's why you look at me like that, isn't it? I'm your solution. Kirigan: I have devoted my life to undoing the great sin of my forebearer, but I am never seen as the solution. Marie and Nadia are still overbearing, but they mean well. Baghra is a great help, even if she is severely strict and always gives Alina a hard time. However, she is improving overall because she is beginning to find herself. She still hopes that Mal will respond to her letters, and the more Alina holds on, the more she hinders her powers.
