Alina Starkov has endured pain and change. She is the sun summoner, one of the most powerful Grisha to have ever lived and the only one capable of destroying the unnatural darkness and deadly dark creatures that ravage her country. But what stuns me is that she managed to keep her personality and principles intact going from a cartographer in the first army to the sun summoner.
Alina is overcautious and sometimes overthinks too, but this idiosyncrasy of hers made her question whether she was still on the path of achieving her original goal and helped her stay on the good side. Something’s never change, like Alina’s love for Mal. Something’s stay the same, like her trust in Nikolai. Her friends, are her family and when it comes to them, there’s no crime.
Alina is impulsive, stubborn and squeamish. But Mal lightens her mood even in precarious situations, and keeps her from falling apart. Hope is like water, it finds it way through in her life. For she is the sun summoner, it gets dark when she says it gets dark!
Our Sankta Alina, is kind and empathetic. She forgave traitors and showed the stag mercy. Even after everything he put her through she makes sure the main antagonist, The Darkling had a proper funeral. And this is why, In the end Alina could do what even the greatest of Grisha or the Darkling couldn’t, She gave up her temptation for power. And it has made all the difference.
