I loved the dynamic between our main characters Jack and Jill, and how their sibling rivalry added a modern twist to darker folklore. This was way darker than I had anticipated... gimme more!!!

grooming of a child. It's not explicitly sexual, but there's suggestive descriptions of the relationship and hints towards a future romantic one.

The author read the audiobook and omg she did a fantastic job!

So reading EHaD, I really loved the world that was made. I liked Nancy well enough, but Jack was my favorite character. Getting to see Jack become herself was magical in it's own way. So I didn't realize Jack was blonde and so I completely pictured her as like a shorter version of Ruby Rose, and I'm going to forever picture her like that. 

I'm not sure if I wished I had read this before EHaD, but either way, I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing Jack being Dr. Bleak's apprentice and how she enjoyed her scientific work. The other amazing thing was the lesbian relationship Jack had. I absolutely loved it and I wish I had gotten to see more of it.

Less complex than the first book, but for me a slightly more enjoyable read. It all evens out to a 3.5 for both books.
