First and foremost I'd like to point out how this book preceeded my expectations.
You see, I have a problem with Cassandra Clare. And you will probably think: "Didn't you just read the entire Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices series?????" And also "What the hell does have to do with this book???"
The fact that I read all those Clare books despite not thinking they're good and not really liking Clare is beyond the point ("Then WHY are you pointing this out, Carol??"). BECAUSE the fact that Holly Black is pretty much besties with Clare made me doubt her (Ah Carol, shut up and get out of here!! - Just give me a moment, judgmental-voice-in-my head, yeah?)
I had never read any of Black's work before, and let me tell ya, the woman can write. Vampires creep me out, and I dreaded the book would be too gore and romantic at the same time. None of that happened.
Holly starts the book presenting us Tana, this girl with a great backstory and this really interesting behavior pattern. She's brave even when scared as hell, she stands her ground even when things go dire, even when she just wants to go home, and she don't need no man. Pretty much a great strong and badass character.
I saw some people complaining about this being plotless and with bad pacing. I beg to differ.
The course of events is plausible, the interaction between the characters and their developments is plausible.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was a nice surprise in this phase of my life that I like to call the silly-distopian-overly-romantic book days, because it doesn't fall into that cathegory.
Therefore, I shall recomends this to all my silly girl friends and hope they have as much fun as I had, because that what this book is fun, and good entertainment.
