White Cat by Holly Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Such a good book! I was reluctant to read it for a very long time because of my opinion of the other Holly Black books I’ve read (Tithe, Valiant, Ironside). They were okay, good even, but kind of lacking. I didn’t really connect with them and they didn’t impress me.
White Cat totally did. The concept is refreshing, and I liked how the mob elements gave a very gritty, realistic urban feel to the story.
I’m reading Red Glove now, and I’m happy to report: my trust in Holly Black’s writing has been fully restored.
