It has been a while since a fantasy book had me this hooked! Rachel Gillig is the queen of gothic fantasy books, if you haven’t read One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns, I recommend that duology first.
I loved that the world building wasn’t too complex, I understood everything for the most part, the Gargoyle was one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read!! It ended on a cliffhanger so I cannot WAIT for book 2! If you’re a mood reader, I’d wait for summer to end because the vibes are spooky winter and it’s hard to feel that when it’s 100 degrees outside but I personally enjoyed it and was immersed in the world!

Captivating story with a compelling group of people trying to figure out their place in the world. The plot was entertaining and the world building was well executed. It was slow to start but picked up and ended with an unexpected twist. Can’t wait to read what happens next!
