Jim's Review
🐛
Jim has always been suspicious of faeries — too many wings, not enough dirt — but Holly Black makes a strong case for them. Jude is ruthless, cunning, and utterly compelling. The enemies-to-lovers tension between her and Cardan could power a small city. The fae politics are deliciously backstabby. Four scheming worms.
