What I liked: Ugh, everything. I love this new world. I love that I haven't read this story in 100 other times in 100 other books. I loved these characters because they weren't good, but they were real, complex, surviving. I love how slow the pacing was because it was so immersive. And the ending. Well, I loved the ending.
What I didn't like: It's hard when you're rating a book 4.75 stars to decide there is something you didn't like. I found the story took a few chapters to get into, that's my only note.
Yes, absolutely. But also, I knew I would.
Who I'm recommending this to: Bardugo fans, people who love an immersive story, anyone looking for something "good and different" because I know we get those requests all the time at the bookstore.
