A couple of downsides:
I wanted more Shakespeare references. So little related to *As You Like It* that it almost felt unnecessary to link the two stories.
Priest was built up as this big deal of a character, but then Priest seemed completely uninvolved in the plot. Did Priest ever really do much of anything?
Both of these things, though, could be easily resolved in the sequel. I'm eagerly awaiting more!

I was surprised by most of the revelations in this book. There were enough red-herrings that I was led astray until the very end, yet it made almost perfect sense. Almost, because I’m still not 100% sure about Priest.
The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars (apart from the Priest thing) is that there wasn’t enough of Oliver/Celia for me, and that the short story at the end didn’t feel like much explanation.
Again, I’ll be looking forward to the next release in this incredible series. In the meantime, I’ll just have to read the short stories (which are also absolutely GORGEOUS! All those books are so pretty 😍) and catch up with other favourite characters.

Definitely read the These Violent Delights duology before this so that you can know the callbacks to characters as well as understand certain cameos. It's not "necessary" because there are good summaries to what happened, but you'll enjoy it more and also it spoils the first duology if you don't.
Really enjoyed this one and can't wait for the sequel!
