This starts out a bit slow but once the ball is rolling it’s ROLLING. Plenty of action and surprises to keep things interesting. The romance was nice and not as rushed as it is in the mortal instruments. Up until the epilogue though it felt like this book could be a stand alone so I’m curious how the story will proceed without feeling forced.

La cosa che ho gradito maggiormente di quest'opera è stata rimmergermi in un mondo a cui mi ero parecchio affezionata qualche hanno fa, seguita dalle interazioni e dinamiche tra Emma e Julian, e tra quest'ultimo e i suoi fratelli. Altra cosa che ho molto gradito è l'esplorazione del mondo fatato e delle sue tradizione tramite il personaggio di Mark.

L'investigazione sul caso che viene loro assegnato lascia un po' a desiderare, ma nel complesso non è spiacevole da leggere.

Quello che mi è piaciuto di meno, e non mi ha convinto quasi per nulla, è stato il colpevole dei delitti e le sue motivazioni, nonché il conflitto finale, ma soprattutto nell'epilogo nel quale si lascia intendere che

Lady Midnight sia stata riportata in vita con successo
