Shadows of Perl was beautifully complex. It was an intricate weaving of shadow and light amidst elegant world building. It most definitely did not suffer from book 2 syndrome. It was compulsive and surprising.
The characters continued to grow and change. Alliances were formed and broken. Lines were drawn. Loyalties were tested. The multiple points of view actually mattered and were very well differentiated.
The plot thickened in a gracefully, sumptuous way. There were twists and turns galore. There was unpredictability and excitement around every corner. I got Netflix Winx Saga vibes, and I was ultimately satisfied, and left wanting more at the same time!
Make sure you pre-order this beauty!
Thanks Penguin Teen for the e-ARC!
