I really loved The Shadow Society, but this book is so much beyond that
one that I can't express my delight. I started with the short story
Bridge of Snow which can be found for free here http://www.tor.com/stories/2014/01/bridge-of-snow-marie-rutkoski.
It was masterful and begs for more. The full length novel did not
disappoint. The story was so well put together from beginning to end.
The world building was phenomenal and intricate. The characters were
some of the best that I have read in YA fiction. I found my loyalties
divided so much in the book. I realized that if I routed for Arin then
Kestrel would suffer, and vice versa if I routed for Kestrel. I never
could make up my mind which one I wanted to triumph. Also, I would like
to point out that this was a great romance. There was no insta-love or
repeated paragraphs telling me, the reader, how hot the other one was.
It was sweet and slow and very satisfying.
I desperately want the
next book, and I am very sad to think that I have to wait a year before I
can find out what happens. But I am very happy that I have found a new
author that I can rave about.
