Something Dark and Holy trilogy

By Emily A Duncan

YA fantasy

Finished all 3 of these. 

When I ordered books 2&3 I was unaware of how problematic the author was. 

They are beautiful books. 

They are full if horrific things. Blood magic inherently has aspects of gore and self-harm. 

The Shadow and Bones books do the sort of Slavic style world in a more fun and interesting way. 

For such long books, there are still questions I'm left with. 

And then ending. We like, "fade to black" and then the fighting is over? 

I won't read them again.
