I just loved the way the author wrote it. All of the descriptions contributed to the overall ambience of the book. You could actually feel the emotions and situation that the characters are in. I love Leigh Bardugo. It was in fact triggering but it wasn’t a problem for me.

Bellissimooooo l'ho divorato, l'ho letto anche di notte invece di dormire. Esattamente my cup of tea, un dark academia fantasy ambientato nella contemporaneità, con magia, morte, omicidi, un caso da risolvere, una serie di fili sempre più intrecciati, personaggi ambigui, confini labili tra i "buoni" e i "cattivi". La trama è intricata ma solida, i personaggi ben costruiti, le atmosfere rese benissimo. Mi è piaciuto molto l'alternarsi delle trame temporali, tra l'inverno (il presente) e l'autunno (il passato, anche se passato da poco), che poi confluiscono nella sera della "sparizione" di Darlington, e da lì vanno avanti insieme. Anche il prologo ambientato a inizio primavera, quindi ancora più avanti, crea una forte aspettativa, il tutto ti tiene incollato e non ti fa perdere mai l'attenzione. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo il personaggio di Darlington, il meno presente in assoluto perchè nel presente è già sparito, ma anche la impacciata e riservata (ma non sempre) Dawes, che scopriamo poco a poco. Ma anche la nostra protagonista, così caparbia, così arrabbiata, spaventata, forte, fragile, così piena di emozioni con cui è facile empatizzare, anche quando sono molto forti.
Insomma, datemene con un cucchiaio. Non vedo l'ora di leggere il secondo. Bello bello bello.

I tore through this book in less than a week. Parts were incredibly bleak but it was such a wild, spooky right. I was a little disappointed when the first ‘reveal’ happened toward the end, because it left me thinking it was a pretty simple solution to what seemed like a huge mystery. Then BAM BAM BAM twist after reveal after twist… Bardugo’s writing is incredible. Immediately starting book 2.
