Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of my most anticipated book of the year! This book was exactly what I wanted, no what I needed, from a continuation from the Shades of Magic. I still got the characters I love, and a few new favorites! It was definitely a fine balance between the existing world and this new story, and Schwab expertly threaded that needle for me. I can't wait to see where this series goes! This was the longest book I have read in awhile but it flew by as I read! Can't wait to listen to the audiobook, and have a physical copy of this beauty on my shelf.

I loved that this book brought in some other voices along with Jennifer(Jade)'s POV. I didn't like it quite as much as the original, and the audiobook changed narrators for Jade, which infuriates me as an audiobook reader. I loved that it brought in more voices but they should have kept the same actor for Jade.
