So we begin this lovely tale with a girl being rescued from a cellar. She can't see because her eyes are sewn shut and she's been down there for years! This was awesome!

This is the third book I've read by Yovanoff and I seriously loved it. It was weird yet had contemporary aspects and so the magic realism was so cool! The characters were well developed and the story was driven by these characters in a unique fashion. Fisher was complicated and needed hugs and a reminder that things sometimes can't be controlled, or maybe they can but you need help in order to that. 

Clementine was probably my favorite character. She had a Rapunzel-like quality where she was wholesome and innocent yet brave and fierce and wanting to help everyone and everything she could. That is an extraordinary personality to have and one that we in the world should all be striving for. 

As for the parts with the Hollow, it was so unique and well described with perfect world building. The creatures were awesome and the magic was beautiful and deadly. I can't get over how well Yovanoff writes, and I can't wait to read the other books I have by her!
