Hmm. I enjoyed reading Wren’s POV and how… dangerously faerie she was, getting to experience how her trauma shaped her. This was slow and I did not enjoy that. At the 70% mark, I thought about not continuing, how this was not as good as The Cruel Prince. As much as I dislike Holly Black because of Cassandra CLAIRE (see what I did there?), I will 100000% be excited for the sequel because of that end.
