This review might be a bit ranty because I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was absolutely everything I imagined it would be. Holly Black takes us back to the land of the Faerie 5 months after the end of The Cruel Prince. The writing was intense and fast pace, and Black always kept me guessing about what would happen next.

I also loved how the Folk are portrayed, not entirely evil, but of questionable morals. The world building is insane and has me constantly on edge. I want to live in the Faerie world, but I don't think I would survive.

I loved the court intrigue and the politics of the Faerie, and I really wish we could dive a little deeper into the various courts. This book was lush, dangerous and glorious, and I cannot wait for The Queen of Nothing.
