A review by ladygeekface_
Book of Night by Holly Black

3.0

I went back and forth on my feelings for this book for a few days after finishing it. I still haven't made a full decision.

At first I wasn't into the main character, and the pacing felt off. My interest didn't really peak in this book until we got a closer look at Vince and his secrets (oh Vince, I will give you all the hugs). I was really intrigued after that, even with a few plot things bothering me. A world where you can control your shadow and gain powers through? Okay Peter Pan!

I didn't connect with the MC, but I do think Posey is the real MVP. Can I have her story now?

I was intrigued by this world Holly created. If this is a stand alone, I feel the world building itself needed more. You can't tell me about all these cool things and not give me more! Also, that ending.. no. Just no. If this is the beginning to a series, then I'll happily read the next book and re-evaluate my rating.

Thanks to Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
