Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so incredibly gripping. Melissa Albert's writing really stood out to me. It was perfectly balanced between telling the story, portraying the characters' feelings, and having such beautifully crafted scenes. I loved the book as a whole, but the writing was my favorite thing about it by far.
The way the past and present converge is something I really enjoy it books, and I think it was done exceptionally well here. The little spooky moments were clever and kept me on my toes. In the end, everything was explained very well. I didn't have any questions left unanswered about the magic and the world. 
I enjoyed following both main characters and alternating between the past and the present. I stayed interested the whole time, and finished this book much quicker than I normally finish audiobooks!
This was a book I enjoyed so much, I've already signed up to buy a special edition of it so I can read it physically. Both narrators were great, and I felt they fit perfectly for the characters they were reading for, but I would just love to read such beautifully written words physically!
