A review by theinquisitxor
Book of Night by Holly Black
2.0
I saw someone on booktok describe this book as if you're playing a quest based video game and you're the main character (Charlie in this case) and every other side character in this book is an NPC and they just give you information/a side quest and then disappear again.
A lot in this book fell flat. Characters, the world building (not gonna lie, but Massachusetts is not the most exciting place), the prose. I just never got invested in the story, nor did I care all that much. Definitely a disappointing read, but I had seen early reviews that suggested that.
I didn't dislike the book, and there were certainly sections and passages I did enjoy, but I was hoping for more.
