Okay so this was unexpected!

I really enjoyed this book. It made me realize just how much of Black's writing that I have missed since the original trilogy. Annoyed at people not researching anything about the book before and then getting disappointed when Jude or Cardan isn't in this. Kind of like when people were irritated that the Folk of the Heir series wasn't about romance and there's barely any in the first book buuuut that's besides the point.

Like I said , I did enjoy this quite a bit, way more than I thought. Hated the ending but also kind of loved it and am excited to read the second one!
