Having never read a book by Holly Black before this one, I really didn’t know what to expect. I don't really read YA fantasy novels often and this book really didn’t disappoint.
From the very beginning there is a glorious darkness to this book that I just fell in love with. Some of these characters are cruel beyond belief and on more than one occasion I found myself exclaiming loudly ‘Oh my God!’ or taking in a huge gasp of air. It twisted and turned like no other and I felt like I was constantly on my toes to find out what would happen next to Jude and the other characters.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be seeking out more of Holly Black’s writing in future. Dark and twisted, this Faerie-tale kept me hooked from beginning to end with its glorious twists and turns. I certainly will be tuning back in for book 2 next year!
