A book about a piece of paper featuring a wet rag: Mal. Mal is such a horrible character with no personality or development, his entire personality revolves around Alina, who is also an awful character. The show is literally better than this book and that should say something. Let me just say thank god Ben Barnes plays the darkling, i think this character played by anyone else would have melted too many brain cells for us to handle, although Ben Barnes would've been a cooler Mal.
