I really, really liked this take on magic. I feel like I say this about every single one of Black's books but I adore the way she tries each time to think of something someone hasn't done yet or, if it's something similar, put her own distinctive twist on it.

The writing was quick and witty, but realistic and human. Consiquences were real and twists felt more poss ble than those built for plot armour alone.

Appreciated forshadowing subtle enough that you could ignore it if you wanted, or you could follow the thread on your own.

Loved it. Can't wait to read the next.
