kriswc 's review for:

The Golden Tower by Holly Black
3.0

I liked this installment well enough.
It was nice to see the main character finally start trusting people and letting them in on secrets.

The characters carried the book. The plot was mostly predictable. Though this book also had what was for me the biggest twist of the series.

For all the complexity institutions and characters are granted in this book, it seemed a little too convenient to create a couple crystal clear examples of evil mages that simplified a major decision the main characters had to make.

I wish all the surviving characters well. It was nice getting to know you, but I feel no need to stay in touch.
