Not gonna lie, I’ve never read any of her other books, so this was my first introduction to Holly Black and her writing capabilities and let me tell you….I see the hype! Wonderfully written and with enough mystery and edge-of-my-seat tension to make me start stress eating 1/4 of the way through, I can honestly say I was NOT disappointed with this book. I’ve never read ACOTAR or any of CoHo’s books so for me, this is MY OG shadow daddy….literally lol.
