I was so prepared not to like this book. It was called horror, I thought it would be too scary for me. Instead it was a classic hit of Leigh Bardugo. It smacks of Book of Night by Holly Black, and also the end of Nina’s arc in King of Scars, which I always really enjoyed. I enjoy Bardugos writing style because I always feel safe with her. I know she isnt going to let the stuff I cant stand slide, she is going to deal with it in a way that feels compassionate and validating.

Start was really slow and disorganised, should have been edited to be chronological rather than jumping. Ending was really good, saved the book.
