I just learned that this is the second book in a duology, and suddenly that makes a lot of sense. I saw Holly Black’s name on netgalley and clicked so fast. I haven’t read everything she’s written (obviously) but I know she’s a talented writer and couldn’t wait to get started.
This novel is so unique. I loved the politics of it, the built in mystery, the fascinating magic structure. It’s an intense urban fantasy setting. The characters are interesting and complex and this story was compelling all the way through.
I am so intrigued now to go back and read book one!
Note:: I received an early copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
