Ouh no!
It's always hard when you get to a book with very high expectations.. because it not always end good! And this was definitely the case!
Horrorstör missed the spot for me completely! I started loving the story and thought it to be very promising... but somehow it lost it's strength for me!
Being very simplistic, for me the horror books/movies are divided into 2 categories: 1) either the book acknowledges from the beginning that the ghosts exist and deals with them from moment 0 or 2) it plays with your mind and only unveils that ghost exists by the end.
I like the first ones! And Horrorstör fit more on the second category (if we could say so!). Nah!

Really not loving it! A shame!!
I have been waiting for this for YEARS! After rereading the series this year... what I can say it's a book that delivers. It is probably the most intense, fast-paced, long, addictive and crazy book in the SL.
It is long but man, I did want more! Here is my spoiler-free review of it in case you want to have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaOtI_XYyPo&feature=youtu.be
I will always enjoy Rebecca Ross's writing style. She has a certain magic that deeply compels me to keep reading!
This is very different book from the first one. It was, in my opinion, predictable but the fact remained that I wanted to read because reading her stories is a joy, not because I was deeply intrigued about what would happen (hopefully this makes sense!)
A good ending to a beautiful story. It has some emotional parts that I am sure will touch a lot of readers and overall is a great YA duology.
It is a very very good blend between a cozy, sweet and hilarious book. All and all really enjoyed it! It didn't massively change my life, but I am honestly happier now than before reading this, so maybe give it a try ✨
3.5 stars!
Great action scenes, on-point humor & flintlock setting. BUT it somehow felt a bit underwhelming compared with Mistborn era 1: both the enemies & the topic itself seem more mundane. Not bad, but different!
Let's see where the story goes!
