Ok wow. Just WOW!
Immediately if you’re a Bardugo fan, get on this train. The characters the special characteristics and mannerisms, the found family aspect…it’s giving six of crows in the best possible way and I love it.
If that makes no sense to you (get on that Leigh Bardugo is awesome) then just know this book was filled with heart. So many minute details that created such an effortless world. That felt SO REAL!
To give a some context…picture a world where like every supernatural being exists. “What about (insert supernatural being here)?” Y E S. Any of them. Especially gods tied to western religion, the Greek gods and so many more myths and cultures
Other than the crazy world there are very real problems in Paris. Angels sinning in The City and falling from heaven to a Paris that despises them. An influx of ‘angel essence’ a drug that gives the user free magical reign for a certain period of time, is terrorizing the city. So now the humans can fight back too.
My one qualm is that there is so MUCH bunched into 399 pages that left quite a sour taste in my mouth just for some unresolved and or disappointing climaxes.
THATS it.
Nonetheless the world building is on par of any great fantasy I have read!! I really liked it!! :))
