i knew i was saving the 5 stars for something

this book had me fidgeting in my seat then ugly crying.

the character, all of them, i love them all.

cardan and jude i fell in love with. i could not have asked for a better ending (especially with the possibility of it going the other way)

again, no character is perfect and i love them for it. holly black had me in the palm of her hand.

from the battle at the beginning to the slain snake at the end. i loved every bit of this book.
