holly black is like one of two ya authors i'm still obsessed with, even though i just turned 26 and feel like those ya days are way behind me. i really enjoyed this! i've read pretty much all of her faerie books, so it felt like coming back to a world i'm already really familiar with. i liked wren enough as a main character, although it wasn't until the very end that she stood out for me; and i wish oak had had a moment like that as well, but unfortunately, he was never quite there for me as a character - maybe i just like cardan slightly too much. also, this will be really bad for you if you're not a fan of quest books. for me, honestly, they're not my favorite. but since this is a secondary trilogy in a world i already knew, it was interesting getting to explore other parts and courts of it.

A perfect return to Black's Fae world. I love how dark she lets these books get while still remaining appropriate for the YA audience.
HOT TAKE!
oak >> cardan
i was really scared to see everyone describe oak and wrens whole thing to be like jude and cardan. that was the last thing i wanted. (don’t get me wrong i love them but i hate repetitive crap like that)
also i busted out laughing every time “hooves” came up in the story.
