I really liked this book! Holly Black sweeps you away into a magical world, and keeps you entranced the entire time! I was NOT expecting the twists and turns, which is good, because usually I can tell when something is about to happen in a book. Not the case with this one. I did see a spoiler on Tiktok so part of this book was spoiled, which makes me sad. If I hadn’t seen it, it would have been a total shock! Going into the book with a preconceived idea changed how I read it. I think I would have liked it more if I hadn’t seen the spoiler which is a shame. All the while, I loved the story and world building. It reminded me of a childhood daydream!

I LOVE THIS BOOK AND I LOVE THAT IT LEAD ME TO THE NEXT TWO BOOKS WHICH ARE EVEN BETTER. 
CARDAN & JUDE >>>  

the back says that readers will be positively entranced but she just killed a guy, three actually so I’m not so sure.
