pickI just realized I have not been posting books as I read- no clue how that happened!!! I had a hard time getting into this book- and for the first half would have considered it a so-so, but as parts came together I began to enjoy it more and by the end was satisfied with the direction it went in. This is the first of a duology- and I would love to hear other thoughts/discuss with anyone else who read it.

Thatbooknerd I‘m behind on my reviews too. I‘m not sure if I feel pulled to read this book yet but the cover is absolutely gorgeous and I love the title too. 2w
Chrissyreadit @DGRachel Yes!!! I loved Bartholemew and did not see the twist at all!!! 2w
Chrissyreadit @JenniferEgnor I would not rush to read it until the second book comes out in a way- It is very similar in style to Naomi Novak. I think i loved the authors other books from the beginning. BUT the last 25% completely redeemed it for me. 2w
DGRachel This was my first book by this author and I was absolutely enamored by the writing (I think I like One Dark Window a smidge more, although I didn‘t like the sequel to that one as much). I did not expect Bartholomew‘s story to be what it was and it made me sob. I did see the big twist coming though and I don‘t love it, but I‘ll definitely be picking up the next book. 2w
Chrissyreadit @DGRachel I knew the Abbess would be bad - I did not expect that the gargoyles and diviners were children who died or were dying- or that the king - who is only 17 would be so bad!!! especially for what he did to Maude. I thought the Heartsore Weaver was really sad too. And the sprites… so sad. I LOVE how Bartholemew was written and am very worried about how he will fare in book 2 with his injuries. 2w
