Wow this book was so good! Outside the restrictions of YA we really see Bardugo’s full range of skills. The characters, the plot, the mystery, all the incredible details of the world - beautifully mixing truth and fantasy - are perfectly crafted. I loved seeing all the little true facts and places of New Haven and Yale and the various societies. And they were seamlessly woven into the story so that it never felt like we were getting info dumps or extraneous detail. At first Alex annoyed me, but the more I learned about her past and motivations the more I loved her. So many of her snarky quips are stuck in my head now and I can’t get enough! I can’t wait to read the sequel!

Want to make it very explicit that the SA referenced in the content warnings in one instance refers to a minor/p*dophilia. The scene is very graphic. Be safe.

Really engaging and a wonderful mystery, but the graphic rape scenes are really spring on the reader. I’d definitely read the content warnings before starting this book.

THAT WAS SO CRAZY WOW!!!!! Things started to feel a bit goofy for me in the last 80 pages or so but I could not put it down. Kind of struggled to keep track of all the inter-house politics but loved the world, the ghosts, the magic, etc. etc. etc. Starting Hell Bent immediately.

BRING D-BOY HOME GIRLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
