brookhorse 's review for:
White Cat
by Holly Black
I first read this book eight years ago, when I was 15. At the time, I really hadn't read any urban fantasy before. I was confused by the totally frank, matter-of-fact descriptions of amazing and bizarre happenings. I left feeling the book was fairly disjointed, but found myself intrigued by the concept of a world where magic is a central, non-hidden part of the modern world.
Reading it again, after years of familiarity with urban fantasy, I have a much greater appreciation for it. This time around, the world made perfect sense, and I found the book to be well crafted and not at all confusing. One thing still held true: I love Cassel and his story. His character and development stuck with me even when I forgot all the details of the world, and it still shines through years later. I deeply enjoyed this read; 15-year-old me gave it a 3 stars, but 23-year-old me gives it 5 stars.
