You know, there was actually a point about midway through this book where I thought “Hmm, this isn't so bad. Maybe Jay isn't going to stomp all over my heart this time?”
What a fool.
All he did was save all the heartbreak and bewilderment for the last few pages.
Well done, Mr. K. Well done.
Of course I loved it.
This book...this series... is perfection, IMO. The way the characters circle around each other strange and frustrating and flawed and so loveable all at the same time. Just perfect.
My heart hurts so I'm grateful for the break before the next book but at the same time I need it now!
loved this ending!
Such a satisfying ending. I only wish there was more to come! Great characters, best action and a wonderful escape.

I really wanted to love this book as much as I did the first in the series. And I did love so many things about it, but Enne...I just couldn't believe in our protagonist. It was too far a leap to get her to ruthless gang lord in such a short time. I wanted her to struggle more with what happened at the Shadow Game, her conflicting feelings for Levi, etc. I loved Jac (my fave ... he's coming back to life somehow, right? Right?) and Levi and later the introduction of Sophia and the evilness of Vianca, but Enne was just too shallow which sadly distracted me from all the other wonderful elements of this book.
I will say, the ending was a fantastic hook that promised good things to come. I'm going to hold out hope that Enne develops some depth in the meantime...and also that Jac finds his way back somehow (hidden talent?)
Loved this!
I loved the dark atmosphere the three wonderfully flawed characters and the heartbreak and hope we are left with in the end. I cannot wait for Ruthless Gods!
This beautiful, strange and impossible book affected me in unexpected ways. I won't be able to stop thinking about it for a while, U suspect! Quite possibly one if my all time faves.
I love me a good crew! Lots of great action too and quite the ending. So glad I had the sequel on hand to jump into!
So glad I waited until Dark Age was out before I read this one!
Let the gut punches continue!
What a wonderful, heartbreaking book! I'm do glad Wayward Son us waiting for me! Thank you for bringing Baz and Simon to life.
What a delightful surprise this book was! I absolutely loved the characters and their inner journeys along with their madcap adventure. Talk about turning the Grand Tour on its head.
The book deals with the queer, race and disability issues with honesty and grace.
I was SO thrilled when Monty and Percy did indeed find their way to each other.
Can't wait to read on about Felicity's adventures!
Can I give this book more than 5 stars? Gorgeous. Exquisite. I can't wait to tuck into the sequel. ❤

A satisfying ending to the series...most enjoyable!
It did feel a bit rushed in the middle though. I was expecting, and hoping for, a more epic battle between Jude and Maddoc and maybe some higher stakes with the whole Cardan as serpent thing. I loved that whole concept, but it seemed to be a bit too easily resolved.
Overall, really love this world and characters Holly Black has created.
I need to give this book...this series...more than 5 stars. Gorgeously heartbreaking and uplifting at once.
I will reread again and again. ❤
Can I give this more than 5 stars? I will do a proper review at some point, but right now still trying to digest everything. Beautiful, terrible (in the best possible way) and heartbreaking.
