5.0

I have no words. Which honestly seems a shame since Leigh Bardugo seems not to be at a loss for them, meticulously weaving poetry on the page. A masterpiece that kept me guessing -- taunting me with new perils and rewarding me with flawless twists that further carved a place in my heart for this remarkable story and its beloved characters.
