Carolyn Crane, you saucy minx! You've done it again!
This is the second installment of The Disillusionist Trilogy and, unbelievably, it is as fantastic as the first one!
The romance was there, the psychological mind games were there and most of all, THE TWIST! I love her M. Night Shyamalan twists!
Okay, so things that I didn't like so much:
The cover.
Tell me how a chick holding a funny shaped dagger THAT NEVER ACTUALLY APPEARS IN THE BOOK has any relation to this story! It's so misleading. People probably see this book and figure it for another factory-made paranormal romance with an ass-kicking heroine instead of what it really is.
Some of the clues and Justine's hunches were, I felt, a little far fetched.
There was a tiny little plot point that wasn't quite wrapped up but I won't mention it here because that would be a spoiler.
Other than that it was great. Great characters, great writing, great plot and an excellent addition to this series.
I absolutely can't wait for the third installment!

Yay! My copy of this and Mind Games just arrived, I can't wait to get into them! So happy it's another 5 star read for you.
Love the comment about he daggers on the covers! WTH? Whoever designed the covers obviously didn't read the books.Does your 'un-closed' plot point have anything to do with the random disappearance of a guy with bad hair and a girl who used to live in a coat check? If so I'm assuming they will show back up in book 3 (WHICH I CAN'T WAIT TO READ!!!!!!!)
