I love when a series keeps pace and themes up, so much so that it makes me not want to put the book down. This is my second time reading this series, and there were plot points I missed (or forgot) in my first reading. Black is clever when it comes to her Folk, and while I know the next book is my favorite, Iā€™m more excited to reread because I am eager to see if I overlooked more things.
