A review by letstalkaboutbooksbaybee
Valiant by Holly Black
3.0
Either way, this one was still aggressively 2000s grunge. A lot of things were very dark and wouldn’t age well today, there was a lottttt of drug usage and a lot of questionable consent sex scenes that made me uncomfy when thinking too hard about it.
But I liked Val a lot more than I liked Kaye and I thought Ravus was a compelling and interesting love interest.
I still am having a hard time reconciling that the person who wrote Folk of the Air wrote this, but it is definitely a product of its time.
