My thoughts:
Read March 3-17, 2016 | 4 stars
I didn’t know what I was getting into when I started this book; I had only seen great reviews about it all over Tumblr. It moved quite slow at first, then suddenly I needed to know everything these characters went through, and once I found out, I needed more. I couldn’t help but ship the obvious couples and I really loved the diversity between the characters. They come from all walks of life; they’re all different colors, sizes, and orientations. The world building is vivid and immersive. I can’t wait to read the sequel because I already miss these characters so much. Bardugo is quickly becoming a favorite author.
