5.0

Holly Black has done it again, each chapter as the plot and characters danced around each other I fell more deeply into her trap. And again she stuns with her twists (which I should have, in hindsight, seen coming). 
Wren isn't Jude, but she's still a great protagonist and Oak... I WASN'T EXPECTING HIM TO BE A BADASS, THAT USED TO BE A SWEET CHILD
I know people are sad by the lack of Jude+Cardan and the usual crew, but this is still a worth sequel duology and a 5/5 stars read
