Literally shatters every trope of the ya fantasy genere. Much darker, more morally grey, and brutally  violent (#justice for Alfie) than any YA (or honestly adult fantasy) book  I've read. I don't typically like those things (also the romance wasn't super compelling) but this novel with all of its twists and turns and refusal to coddle me and make everything okay   worked for me. Kind of wanted more but also...I'm good ending there.
