Thief of Night
by Holly Black
A Dark, Gripping, and Satisfying Conclusion to the Book of Night Duology
This final installment is a powerful close to the Book of Night duology—equal to, if not better than, the first book. Picking up right where the story left off, it dives straight into the action, so if it’s been a while since you read Book 1, a re-read would be highly recommended for the best experience. That said, even readers who didn’t refresh their memory found the story compelling enough to piece things together and still enjoy it thoroughly.
The sequel brings even more action, deeper lore, and satisfying closure—especially after that intense cliffhanger. It’s a dark, gritty urban fantasy with heist vibes and a unique twist on familiar tropes. The love story is both twisted and sweet, and the emotional payoff is immense. Charlie, the flawed and fiercely relatable main character, truly shines in this book.
Fans of modern fantasy with an edge will find this duology unforgettable. The ending wraps things up neatly but leaves just enough room for the imagination to wander. Honestly, it’ll leave you wishing for a trilogy. If you haven’t started the Book of Night yet—consider this your sign.
