I am really obsessed with the Elfhame world and Holly Black's writing style. The magical elements are so beautifully and gruesomely described. I am a big fan of Suren and it was fun to be inside her head. Throughout the story she grows from scared and unloved girl into a beautiful powerful woman. It was also nice that she wasn't the stereotypical perfect girl, but looked monstrous. And Oak takes this book to the next level. No one can write romantic suspense as well as Black and I was giggling the whole time. 
I may have missed some plot in the middle of the story, but it was a beautiful, epic journey that was completely made up for by the characters. I can't wait for the next book.
