I can really tell that this was Leigh Bardugo’s first adult novel. It kinda seems like she doesn’t know how to write overt sexuality, and I don’t think it needed to be as graphic as it was. I consume a lot of graphic horror media and I just felt like it lacked tact in certain regards. It was also a bit corny I fear… 

Though I enjoyed the setting and the magic system, which are things I enjoy in Bardugo’s previous books too so not much of a surprise there. I will be reading the sequel.

I usually don’t love the “I’m not like other girls” trope, but Alex is the exception.

Decent fantasy/mystery novel. Definitely written as a first novel in a series. Lots of action throughout, but the plot line is bleary and confusing. Still not sure if I’ll continue on in the series
