This so perfectly captures that mix of attraction and anger that both of them have for the other, and for it to be in mid-battle is the perfect touch--but most of all, I adore the juxtaposition between Aleksander, who lets himself reflect on Alina, who considers things from her perspective, and acknowledges his own temptation; and the Darkling, who is just here to fight, and win.
