I would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Frick.

This was one of my most anticipated releases, seeing as I loved loved loved Silver Under Nightfall.

Court of Wanderers however did not live up to that hype. Don't get me wrong, there were definitely parts of the book that were as good, if not better, than the first.

The first 200 pages were a frigging drag though. It felt like nothing was happening, except for some info dumping every now and then, and Remy, Xiaodan and Malekh moving around and settling for a while to bang, before doing the same thing all over again. There were some major events happening within those first 200 pages, but those were swept over within 20 pages? Safe to say, I was disappointed.

The last 250 or so pages were good though, like I remember Silver Under Nightfall being. Action-packed scenes interweaved with politics, just how I wanted this whole book to be.

I'm not sure how I feel about the ending though, it felt so random
for Dr. Yost to show up at the end? He barely went mentioned throughout this whole book, except for referring to his mutations, and then he shows up and leaves Lord Pendergast unable to control them?
. Just felt like a frigging cop-out.

I still love my vampire and human trio, but unfortunately I did not love the rest of this book.
