Didn't click with me *quite* as much as Knife and Rebel did, perhaps because I never finished this one as a child so I didn't have that nostalgic factor to it, but I still enjoyed it very much. R. J. Anderson's writing is easy and engaging to read, her world-building and lore continue to contain incredible depth, and her characters are likeable and interesting. One thing I didn't mention in my previous reviews but that very much applies across the series is that her fae characters are very tangibly, well, fae - their mentalities and mannerisms and speech patterns are all just believably inhuman in a very intriguing way.
