![]() ![]() In the world of magical shadows, Charlie Hall used to be a thief. Still, I loved Holly Black’s writing as well as the dark and dangerous ambiance of her story, so ultimately this was a mixed bag for me. With a slow and sometimes confusing plot, an overabundance of characters to keep track of, and a magic system that’s more head-scratching than magical, Book of Night didn’t blow me away like I was hoping it would. When I think of Holly Black, my mind conjures up fairies and magic and intricate worldbuilding, and despite the mysterious, ethereal cover design, the book reads more like an urban fantasy heist story than anything else. ![]() The nitty-gritty: Lovely writing and eerie ambiance couldn’t quite make up for a confusing plot and magic system.īook of Night was not at all what I expected (something I’ve heard from other reviewers as well) and that may have impacted my reading experience. ![]() This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
