This was such an easy and mysterious book! I read this as a buddy read, even though the person I’m buddy reading with hasn’t read it yet… She is going to read it soon though, so we’re going to discuss the book next week or so.

I adored this book.

The pacing was a little strange at first, with the big event seemingly coming out of nowhere, but the pacing was quite good otherwise.

I loved the subtle nods to well-known, and not so well-known, literary worlds that were present throughout the book. References that perhaps few will know, but are meaningful to those who do.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this, but I can safely say that it exceeded whatever expectations I had, and I can't wait to read the others in this series.

Fun, fast-paced, mysterious YA book. Feels like Thirteen meets the Magicians meets Tim Burton, with diverse and interesting characters. Recommend for a quick weekend read.
