This one kicked into high gear about half way through and the action really ramped up.
Flew through it to the end.
Loved the twists!
I think this may be one of Maas's best books - or at least my personal favorite. As per Maas's style, the story follows Fae and humans - and a girl who is half and half. I liked Bryce as a character - in some instances she felt similar to many of the Mcs Maas writes, but I didn't quite mind since I still found myself engrossed in the pages - in the story. This world is more contemporary-fantasy oriented, and the setting is done very well. Crescent city is described beautifully, bringing about a world that is both similar to and different from the other worlds Maas has written.
There is a LOT of world building in this one, but the story was so emotional and... well... worth it. I adored this book so much. Sarah J. Maas wove such a fun buddy cop, close proximity adventure into her complex fantasy world and it was a journey that I can't wait to continue.
