Why read it?
1 author picked Lord of Shadows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ve never thrown a book across the room harder than this one. While book one of The Dark Artifices had a fabulous cliffhanger, nothing could ever compare to the utter devastation book two, Lord Of Shadows, managed.
I would recommend this Young Adult series to people who love a blend of action and romance in contemporary-fantasy, value modern representation such as trans characters and autism awareness, and readers who like to have their hearts tortured in the cruelest of ways.
From Ashley's list on The best books for people who like to be emotionally tortured by fiction.
