I read this book for the first time almost exactly two years ago—and then proceeded to forget everything that happened in it. So I did a quick reread so I could continue the series. 

This book fell victim to one of SJM’s favorite way of conveying plot twists: long ass unnecessary monologues. The plot itself was interesting enough to me, with some twists and reveals that weren’t TOO obvious. 

I’m not usually a big fan of urban fantasy (it’s goofy to me when the fae are communicating to each other over text—pls keep them in high fantasy settings) but it was still enjoyable.
