This book is my favourite book. I hadn't read fantasy in a long time, so this one being my first in a while made me fall in love with it again. Absolutely loved the characters. I really can't describe the love I have for this book, Holly Black's writing, and the plot twists.
The plot twist at the end of Cardan being crowned surprised me. I honestly didn't see it coming.
