Black Heart

I was so excited about this audiobook that I both officially requested that my library buy it and also I actually paid money for it when the library's order didn't arrive in time for my recent travels. Worth it! Jesse Eisenberg is the perfect voice of Cassel. PERFECT I SAY.

I felt like too long had passed since I listened to Red Glove and there were some things Cassel alluded to where I was like wait, what? But I basically pieced everything together in my brain and the book definitely did not disappoint. Very savvy and surprising contemporary fantasy. Hurrah!

Still enjoyed this on re-read, maybe more because I'd listened to the previous 2 more recently than when I read it the first time. It's definitely not a perfectly tidy ending but I liked that. Cassel's been in some STICKY SITUATIONS, they can't all get resolved, but I like that there's at leasta sense of potential happiness for him and Lila if not a fully happy ending.
