My first Holly Black after hearing a fair amount about her. Well put together sorry, drawing on folk and fairy tales. Everything came together after some twists and turns along the way.
YA romance storylines don't always land well with me but this was well handled.

This was such a fun read in classic Holly Black style with high stakes, daring heroines, and equal parts fantastical and horrifying fairies. 

I thought the plot was super fun, and the mystery was intriguing and resolved neatly. The characters were oh so lovable. 

I just love how Black harnesses both the whimsy and terror of fairy stories. 

My only complaint was toward the end, the characters had monologues that felt a little to perfect and not really how teens speak to each other, but I’ll give them a pass being nonhuman.
