Thinking back, there seems to be a lot of convenient plot devices a lot. I’m not a huge fan of frivolous characters, but I think the pace of the series makes up for it.
Other than all that, I really loved the direction the plot took. Jude’s role in
I though Vivi’s and Heather’s relationship was great.

If I were truly objective, I suppose the writing isn’t the best and there are things that could be improved, but isn’t this the truth of anything? And with the way Cardan’s character gripped me, I would excuse far more in a YA-oriented novel than what Holly Black got away with. In short, read them.

Fairies are cruel by nature, so do expect accounts of such cruelty throughout the trilogy. They are kept rather brief, in general, but are given nonetheless.baexlee's review against another edition

Black continues to explore the complicated dynamics of the Duarte sisters by
There is a great balance of mystery and riddle weaved throughout and the magic of Faerieland is vivid and details in the descriptions of the environment. Now, I'll keep Cardan content to the spoilers.
Oh my god. This fucking part killed me, this is so Jude and sometimes these character moments during sex can feel so awkward or just repetitive and basic but this is so distinct and so Cardan and Jude and honestly their entire relationship is just delightfully flawed and real.
"We have lived in our armor for so long, you and I. And now I am not sure if either of us knows how to remove it."
Cardan is really making my heart drop. We get to see a lot more of him in this novel, and we also get to see a lot less of him, and more of him, and we lose him, and get him back. It's complicated. But overall, I'm glad that the fates came to pass and Jude and Cardan made it out on the other side.
