Holly Black takes a departure from the familiar worlds of faerie that I’m so familiar with. It’s a welcome change set in an interesting world. It’s nice to be discovering its rules with so many of the characters. 

It’s a complex story of a thief and the shadows they leave, especially in a world where those shadows have a life of their own.
