I received this book from NetGalley. Another amazing book from Samantha Shannon! Just as good, if not better than the first in this series. I love the world building in this book. This series is quite different from others I've read and I can't wait for the next book. I have to know what happens with The Black Moth and the rest of the syndicate. I highly recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley!

This one fell a bit short for me (I feel like it suffers slightly from second-book syndrome), but I’m excited for The Song Rising!

I couldn’t put this book down. Exceptionally revised, just like the Bone Season, Samantha Shannon has revitalized her previous work into a masterpiece. I was at the edge of my seat through the entire story, even though it was one I had semi read before. The development of characters, the expansion of the syndicate, and the heat she added to the slow burn is PERFECT.
