Listen, it is no secret to the people that know my love of reading that I am hoe for @blackholly . I would read the woman’s grocery list. Happily.
Book of Night wasn’t my favorite book she has ever written (nothing has topped Tithe in over 20 years for me), but it still left me eager to dive deeper into this world and get to know these characters.
PROS:
🖤It is Holly FREAKING Black
📓The fact Shadow Magic has been around forever, but it seems like it was a secret underground thing until the last few decades was super neat.
🖤The reveal about Shadow Daddy had me screaming.
📓The world building was top notch, as per usual.
CONS:
🖤I still felt like I was left with more questions than answers in the end.
📓I have to wait for the answers.
🖤I have a hit list of characters that could catch these hands for free because they are the worst kind of people.
