Love Holly Black and so excited to read her first adult fiction! I absolutely loved the story. There was so much world building with this shadow magic, I wish it was longer. Loved Charlie and Vincent! Some great twists and fantastic ending! Wow!

This series wasn’t my favorite, but I did thoroughly enjoy it! I did like all the characters at the end. And this book has some great twists that I really appreciated and made me like it more!

Enjoyed the world, once there was plot movement. There was a little too much info dump for me that made it hard to read at times, but I’m hopeful all that world building will pay off for book 2 and 3.

Deonn does it again! This book is outstanding! Different than the first book, but so good in its own right! I cringed, I cried, I giggled, I couldn’t put it down.
