this book gagged me at every turn tbh. multiple times there were twists where i physically put the book down and gasped and then i had to pick it back up and continue reading immediately.
i like that in this book, the reader is really eased into the court politics. i like fantasy, but struggle with high fantasy because it feels like i need to take notes to keep track of all the drama. in this book, it built up naturally and took you along the ride WITH the characters. also i love how holly black writes. amen. i will be reading the next two books asap
