Review: ★★★★★
This book is perfect for anyone seeking to go on a journey with intricate characters. Suspense, guesswork, and surprises are woven very well into this certainly unique story.
Leigh Bardugo’s book cover features a crow’s wing, which is the symbol of the characters in the book and the edges of the wing form buildings of the city it takes place in.
