The second half of this book? Absolutely marvelous. The characters glittered and the writing sparkled. I absolutely fell in love with the little found family I had heard this series praised so highly for. Enrique, Zofia and Hypnos ?? Absolutely amazing, those three. My favorites out of the entire book.
The first half? Excruciating.  But it was worth it for those last ten or so chapters! What a doozy!!! I wish I hadn’t put this off for so long, having got it as a Christmas gift.

TLDR; it was alright, nothing to write home about. I might continue the series, but it’s not something I *need* to do immediately.
