3.5 stars

I had heard good things, but I was not prepared for this book. Easily in my top 10 of all time, if not top 5. I don't even know where to start. The mist filled, gothic setting is great. The subtle magic system backed by the power of the cards. The anti-hero build up of the Nightmare. Some of the lines gave frisson. I couldn't put the book down in the last hundred or so pages. I am immediately diving into the sequel as I type this.
