A wonderful follow-up to such an original!

I'm both glad and upset I dived into the second book right after "Ninth House." I'm glad because I got to see what happened next, while having the characters and story fresh in my mind... But I'm upset because now I have to wait for the third book!

I love how the story developed from the first book. Could I nitpick certain things? Sure, but who am I to question a queen of fantasy? I'm glad I read these books because I think I'm now a born-again Bardugo fan. You WILL be seeing me devour every written word this woman has put out. 

I like this book, but "Ninth House" was such a strong start, it can be hard to upset that. Overall, still an amazing, gripping, story of magic and woes. Love it!
