The Hanging City by Charlie N. Holmberg
Special thanks to NetGalley and 47 North Books for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Content warnings: parental abuse, physical abuse
Rep: slow burn, found family
Thoughts
I don't know how I feel about this one, and I dont know what I want to rate this. There are some interesting aspects about this book and the world that Holmberg created with the Trolls and the magic system, but there was something about the writing that just didn't click with me. Or maybe the chapters were a bit on the long side

The Star:
Dislike/Hate-to-Love. This was cute! Definitely my favorite story out of the 3.
The Mask:
Ash is SUCH an awkward, low key-sad boy and I related to him so hard

I thought that this one was okay. I've read Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove and I prefer that one over this story. But the lore in this one about all of the flowers? I LOVED, it was so good! But the overall plot I was not invested in and I unfortunately found myself checking out of the story multiple times and having to skim/reread sections
