"I have been crying out to you from the start.

I'm so glad I'd recently read book 1. Now that we're probably waiting for book 3, I hope I'll remember the storyline to keep going. I did like that we finally have some answers. We have some conclusions that lead to next stories. We know other people's stories and there was less build up and more action. A lot of things come to an end in this one - but many new things start.

I liked the last 100 pages or so the best. ...more

I'm a little disappointed in this book. The first had such great dark academia, Gothic vibes. This one didn't have the same level of charm. I'm kinda scared that Leigh Bardugo will take this series (if there are more) down the same path as Charlaine Harris or Laurel K. Hamilton, more urban fantasy/paranormal romance than Gothic horror. I'd prefer she stop with this book if that's the case. ...more

Another slow burn like the first book in this series. This one moved a little faster because we didn't have all the world building but like the first one, it only really got engaging towards the very end. I'm invested enough to finish the trilogy but it's not a huge favorite. ...more
