I think the book tackled some difficult issues well and I could identify with some of the complex feelings of the characters. I appreciated the honesty in it.

I love Leigh Bardugo, but this disappointed me with how predictable and weirdly paced it was. I also didn't like the fact that the only things making this book "adult" were how gratuitous the use of violence of all kinds was. the characters read way too YA for me - and aren't really interesting.

2024 UPDATE: 
Bumping up from 3.75 stars to a nice even 5. Loved this so much more the second time around. So much complexity, so many layers. The themes really came through and I will be thinking about this book for a long time. Trigger warnings: sexual assault, rape, gore. 

Kinda gave me Addie LaRue vibes, but this succeeded where that one fell flat for me. I'd like a sequel, please.
