I just love these books. I never remember a single thing about the plot, but I do love how intricate the stories are and how incredible the world building is. I’m just here for Strike and Robin.

His declaration of love at the very end…my god I might never recover. Need the next book NOW!

I think I loved this one best in the series, even though the writer is an awful person. I keep getting back to their work, a literal guilty pleasure

This book, like all in the series, would benefit from tight editing and should have been half the length. Having said that, the author is a proven master in the art of plotting. And, I'll probably read the next installment in the series because I'm invested in Cormoran & Robyn, an investment that began in the opening scenes of the first book. It's complicated!
