vannb 's review for:
Book of Night
by Holly Black
Yup this is a DNF. (P90)
Really don’t enjoy this version of Holly Blacks writing style. I find it annoying to read, some places have way too much detail put into it when I feel like it should only be mentioned in passing. Because I don’t really care about the dirty lantern sitting by the porch that she got from Target. I wanted more details about how the magic system worked with the shadows or more detail put into the scene in the ally.
Also there seems to be a very distinct lack of character depth. I feel like I was being told she was some kind of real badass, but all I really see are a ton of bad decisions and lack of good communication.
Was really looking forward to reading this, because some of Holly Blacks books are amazing.
This left me rather disappointed.
