It is not new that I am a big Holly Black fan. I have read a few of her books now and I am working my way through her catalog of books.This series, I expected to be much worse than Cruel Prince and if you are comparing them side-by-side, I love this series almost as much.This second book follows completely different characters than the first book. I was a bit thrown by that but apparently I loved it more.Holly does great showing addiction in its ugly form rather than glamorizing it. The Fae and their descriptions are on par with her usual writing of them. I absolutely love it.Can't wait to see how this story wraps up.
