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.
