Another Leigh Bardugo banger! This was such a rush. The plot, the pacing, the characters, were all incredible.
Admittedly, some bits got a bit muddled like in Ninth House, but most moments of confusion were purposefully crafted. I love the direction the story is going, the growth of relationships, and how the characters are evolving.
Bardugo’s greatest strength as a writer is her ability to make you think without slowing you down. You can easily sit down with one of her books and read and read and read, even while taking in twisty plots and thought-provoking revelations. Her stories are so easy to devour, and I’m always hungry for more.
