What a mess. I blame this book entirely for my reading slump in May. It's especially disappointing cause the characters were so diverse and interesting but the story itself was extremely rushed, the insta-love got on my nerves, and the whole shadow world conflict seemed completely redundant in a WWII book. The writing was very good in parts, Lindsay Smith can definitely write, but I do wish she had focused on only one set of characters/romance, cause her trying to write a historical supernatural Six of Crows style story just fell completely flat.
