Started the Grisha Trilogy after finishing Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom. If anything, its a testament to Bardugo's growth as a writer since its publication. The story is fairly predictable and trope driven, but as someone who does enjoy a good YA fantasy novel, it was alright. I'd recommend reading through this so you can get to Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising, as Bardugo pushes away from the tropes of the genre more in her more recent novels. I'd give the full trilogy 4/5 but this is definitely the weakest example of Bardugo's writing! I'd almost recommend starting with Six of Crows (my personal favorite of the 5 books) just to get a taste of the world lore and get some context before embarking on the Grisha Trilogy. Definitely a fun easy read. Not remarkable but worth it for the overall quality of the trilogy! If you like the genre, just do it.
