Helpful Score: 1

I liked this novel as much as White Cat, which is to say, quite a lot. Holly Black gives us a world in which magic is mixed with "mafia" family dynamics. The elements of mystery, self-discovery, love, loss, magic, boarding school, crime families, paranormal reality (where everyone wears gloves to prevent skin-to-skin contact necessary for magic workings), teenage cynicism, and interesting secondary characters combine into an exciting story.
