I liked this one, but I don't think I liked it as much as I was really hoping to, since I really enjoy Holly Black's work.

The main cons of this book were that it had a very slow start and was difficult to engage with due to the "past" sections carving up any action that happened. The other is the ending cliffhanger
(I hate amnesia tropes)
. But realistically both of these things are typically found in the first book of a series.

There is a lot of potential for action and romance in the next book, so I'll probably pick it up when it comes out. Probably.
