I think one of my favorite things about Brenna Yovanoff's books is most definitely the author's writing style. This book was filled with the same lovely writing and lush imagery. I love the picture she painted of New South Bend, of the Willows and the Hollow. I grew up about ten minutes from a major city, so I tend to find small town settings fairly interesting, the daily life, as well as the politics of them. 
 I thought that the contrast between those with craft and those without it was well done, particularly in the reactions and prejudices of the regular townspeople to those who used craft. I also liked that the author didn't over explain everything, it just was. While I was certainly left with some questions about fiends and craft, and how a lot of it works, I also enjoyed not being bogged down by a lot of info dumping. I thought the characters were fairly well rounded as well, though I would have enjoyed learning a little bit more about Rae (and I would love to see a real version of shiny's witch deck). 
 I also liked that the book was creepy without crossing over into scary. And it was definitely creepy, particularly in its descriptions of the Hollow, the creatures that lived there, and the fiends. 
 There wasn't much I didn't enjoy in this book, other than some lingering questions about a few things. I would definitely recommend this to fans of the author's other works, as well as anyone who likes things that are a little creepy, but not full on horror.
