Amazing. Just so amazing.
I'm not really even sure how to gather my thoughts when it comes to this duology. It was confusing, beautiful, twisted, creepy, addictive, brilliant. Every single one of these characters drew you in for better or for worse.
I was caught off guard on more than one occasion with the twists and turns. This duology will haunt me in the best way for years to come. I genuinely wish I could read this from the very beginning for the first time again.

I think I’m going to revisit this one at another time - I’m just not getting interested in what’s going on at all.

The first book was just ok and I liked this one even less.

Loved this sequel! The ending of ODW had me panicking for what book 2 would be.
When I tell you I’ll never overlook a sneaky, kinda mean, ginger prince again. I didn’t think much of Elm until this book & then I fell in love. Move over Ravyn, Prince Elm is the guy.
Anyway, like the first book, the magic system is very unique & well-established. I thought the Spirit of the Woods was intriguing & was glad to see an appearance in this book.
The best part of this duology, in my opinion, is the King, Maiden, Monster storyline with the Nightmare & Elspeth. The Shepherd King is made out to be the monster in Elspeth’s mind, a parasite & unwelcome voice. But as the books go on, you grow to love him & understand his adoration & love for Elspeth. He becomes a misunderstood, but beloved character for me.
