Black Heart by Holly Black

3.0

This book had one too many subplots to make it truly great; if just one had been dropped then the reader could have more fully appreciated the other stories and characters. Also, rather than interweave these plots and have them intersect in unexpected/interesting ways, this never happens - Plotline 1 gets a few scenes, then we just to Plotline 2, then Plotline 3 takes a turn. A great writer would have had them be interdependent (at least at the end), but they never were and most are not fully resolved or leave plotholes. I feel like it was all sort of flying out of control to the point where the author, reader and characters were all lost and forgetting things. But other than that issue, I did enjoy it.
