immer012 's review for:
The Golden Tower
by Holly Black
4.5
I can't give it a full 5/5 because there was still some relationship stuff I found dumb, BUT it was actually an extremely satisfying ending! There were some really good twists (Cal's dad) and some dark stuff (Aaron and Alex) that made it really interesting and pushed some middle grade boundaries, at least in my opinion. I also want to re-read this series at some point from the POV of it being a comentary/parody of similar middle grade books because I have a theory about that. Overall very happy that I read the series this year, not the best in terms of writing and some of the relationships were really annoying, and yet the plot was great and very different from other magical school books!
