This book was incredible. It was an amazing work of horror, and amazing love story, and one of the best depictions of a powerful female lead I have ever read. The main character is exactly the kind you want young girls to read and be inspired by. No, not because she is perfect by any realm. It is because she is real, raw, strong, brave, and caring. She dares to struggle with the hard choices, instead of letting herself see things as black and white.
Holly Black's writing style is flawless. I was captivated from word one through to the end. I was also really impressed by how I could never predict it. There were times I had guesses and it came out totally different, and other times I couldn't even fathom how the book could go next. Incredible. This will easily be one of the best books I've read this year. I can also assure you future readers, this book has an amazing ending. It is well worth the read. If you enjoy vampire stories you will enjoy this one, and if you've never liked one before in the past, this will be the one that will metaphorically bite you and bring you over.
Full recommendations.
