Absolutely amazing! I had forgotten how much I loved this series because it has been so long since I read Ironheart! I couldn’t put Misrule down and I read it in one sitting, as I had done with Valentine and Ironheart! My only question is; there’s going to be another one right?
Comparisons to Holly Black get thrown around a lot, and almost none live up to that hype. Jodi McAlister’s Valentine trilogy lives up to the hype, and Misrule has instantly become one of my favourite YA fairy books.
As well as being a great fantasy series, with vividly drawn characters and a complex romance arc, I love how uniquely Australian it is. Haylesford is a fictional town, but it’s rooted so firmly in a particular part of Australia (and even a particular part of NSW) that if I couldn’t place it exactly on a map, I could for sure tell you which train line you would catch to get there.
And I’ve never had an anxiety attack over the fate of a fictional character, but That Thing That Happens near the end? That came closer than I actually thought was possible.

very entertaining, but the book was a little flat in some parts. good for people who like fantasy and lots of gruesome murder!!
