Elfhame is a completely captivating world. I am in awe of the work author Holly Black has done in creating and maintaining it. Now we can visit it once more and this time for a very different insight. [...] Dramatic, powerful, dangerous, dramatic and with moments of humour this is a stunning addition to the Elfhame world
