Critic reviews

'The plot is as intricate as Six of Crows (instead of a heist, Pacat provides the satisfying thrills of uncovering ancient secrets,) and the dark tone and mature themes will appeal to fans of Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series. The gut-wrenching cliffhanger ending, dreamy prose, and the grim but gripping tale of betrayal, longing, passion, and violence will leave fans desperate for the next installment.' (Project Muse)
