This book is….interesting. To preface, I did really enjoy reading it. Laini Taylor’s writing style is captivating and so beautifully written. She can turn a description of a turd into poetry if she wanted to. That being said, the book was over 500 pages long and the real action happened about 400 pages in. I found myself getting impatient with the characters and the development, and wanted the book to move faster. However, I don’t know that it could have been any shorter? I can’t wait to read the second book in the duology though!
