What can I say? I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one in the series. I found the story a bit meandering until the book's last quarter.

On Bookwyrm, I noticed it'd been added to a list called "Books where people are nice to each other," and that kind of sums it up.

Yet again, I'm glad I don't pay any attention to Goodreads reviews. Everyone's a critic, and critics are too quick to judge. I found this tale to be a perfect example of gothic dark fantasy.

This was my first adventure with V. E. Schwab, and I look forward to exploring her work further.

Personally, I thought the story was the perfect length, chugged along at the right pace, and ended at the right time without dragging on for too long - an excellent late-night atmospheric read.💀
