This a quick little read for me, and one that I enjoyed very much. A little creepy, a little Romantic, this book is both cozy and cold. A wonderful dark companion for a rainy day, should you need one. V. E. Schwab is a beautiful master of prose, and the juxtaposition of beauty and horror in this story is fantastic. I think some of the mystery and drama could have been drawn out, but the pace certainly did not break my engagement or enjoyment!
