Gorgeous writing. Reading this felt like watching a stopmotion video of  a puzzle assembling - a dark, magical, surreal, puzzle that left imprints in my mind. It was an imaginative masterpiece. I’m so enamored with this world that Schwab created and the dynamic characters that fill it. I love these characters! I want to be them and fight them and love them and scream at them! This world came to life for me.

A fun YA-ish read that isn't particularly challenging but does hold interest.
