I wish I liked this more. I was really expecting too, especially after hearing the beginning which I loved the opening chapter. But honestly for me this book just seemed plotless and rambling.
It's just over 12hrs on Audiobook, (I do got to stop and say Christine Eakin who did the reading was great with voices, and I enjoyed the creepy music added in here and there as well) and getting to the last hour and half or so I still wasn't really sure where this book was going. I kept glancing at the time wondering how this book was going to get wrapped up when nothing really happened in the first 10hrs.
The time is eaten up mainly by flashbacks about Tanna's childhood which I found mostly boring and then information about the history of Coldtowns. Which honestly I did like the Coldtown info and found the world Holly Black created to be really interesting. I also liked the personalities of both Tanna and Gavriel (and even the small bursts of supporting characters like Aiden, Valentina, and Jameson). So all of that made the book enjoyable for me.
I just really wish there was more of a plot! Also the ending was left super open. Some may like that but it mostly annoyed me. Which is a shame because a good ending will usually make a book for me.
