yes, the ending is a bit rushed and there are some things that are left unexplained, but it feels pretty wrapped-up as a whole, so thats what matters to me. the art of creating a complete story in just one book seems to be a rare thing these days in YA fantasy, so i appreciate what the author has accomplished with this. I also have to give credit where its due. hes extremely mature and level-headed, so he was easy to like. so often its young women who are the protagonists in YA fantasy, so it was refreshing to follow cas and his growth and life. the prose is so easy to feel present with and its written in third person, which i personally prefer. but to find out its actually based on the black plague and a particular instance that happened because of it (wont mention what because of spoilers) had me enjoying this so much more.īut what first drew me in is the writing - it had me glued me to the page. I thought this was a COVID inspired book as a main chuck of the story is about an illness.
