Really enjoyed this book - it was a very quick read for me as I kept turning page after page. I started and finished the book today. Something in me isn't quite willing to give it 4 stars though. There were some passages in the book that felt quite juvenile in the way that they focused on friendships and looks and going to the big dance. I suppose they are young adult books, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! I guess I was disappointed that even in a fantasy novel the standard teenage tropes make an appearance. Saying that though, I can't wait to read the next one!

Ooh I see why people like this book. I very much enjoyed Mal and the main character and their love story. I also enjoyed learning about the darkling and this entire fantasy world and all that it entails that I’ll continue on with the series because it wasn’t so gripping that I had to know what happens next, but I definitely enjoyed the book and I would definitely recommend it others!! It’s gripping!
