A review by bookwormlukas
Black Heart by Holly Black
5.0
This rating and review is more for the series as a whole, as oppose to just this particular instalment.
After being disappointed by a few sequels lately, I went into this book with a little trepidation after enjoying 'Red Glove' a hell of a lot, and i'm glad to say that this one kept up the pace of the previous novel and ended everything brilliantly, almost to the point where I was hoping the rumoured fourth book was true, but apparently not. *sigh*
Character wise, everyone has changed and grew over the series. Cassel continues to me one of the more enjoyable YA narrators around, and I noticed a lot of similarities to Jasper Dent from 'I Hunt Killers' (as I read that before this). The family dynamics and supporting players continue to add fun little side plots and everything gelled together really well, meaning even some of the more cliched moments are pretty enjoyable.
I've read other things by Holly Black in the past and truly despised them, so I really don't understand how she could have also wrote a series I fell in love with, but I may give her newest book 'The Coldest Girl in Cold Town' a go when it eventually comes out, just in case.
Overall, this is a brilliant trilogy and one I can see myself reading again in the future, hence the five stars. Brilliant.
