'Dark, strange, thick with mystery and twists Book of Night is everything delicious and frightening I've come to expect from Holly Black.' Leigh Bardugo, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ninth House

'Black is a master at world-building.' The New York Times Book Review
_______________________________________________________________________

#1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black makes her stunning adult debut with Book of Night, a modern dark fantasy of shadowy thieves and secret societies.

Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn't pick, a book she couldn't steal, or a bad decision she wouldn't make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie.

Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn't easy. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that her shadowless and possibly soulless boyfriend has been keeping secrets from her. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends back into a maelstrom of murder and lies. Determined to survive, she's up against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world - all trying to steal a secret that will allow them control of the shadow world and more.

'I will never forget my first time reading Holly Black . . . Such a beautiful writer.' Daisy Johnson, Man Booker Prize finalist and author of Sisters

Dark, strange, thick with mystery and twists -- a story so believable in its magic, you'll be keeping one eye on your shadow as you turn the pages. ― Leigh Bardugo, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ninth House

If Neil Gaiman channelled Stephen King, the result might be this book . . . scintillating prose, whiplash twists, and a voice of character that demands to be heard from again. ― James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Starless Crown

Holly Black is a master of fantasy with the Midas touch -- there is no story she cannot turn to gold. ― V.E. Schwab, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Will have you frantically turning pages and finishing in less time than you thought possible. Everything you could want from a modern fantasy. ― SFX

Black is a master at world-building. ― The New York Times

Superb . . . entangling magic and mystery around the gritty horrors of human nature, neglectful parenting and the scourge of severe income inequalities. It's all wrapped around a plot that will have you frantically turning pages and finishing in less time than you thought possible. Everything you could want from a modern fantasy ― SFX

Book of Night delivers hot sex, a breathless plot, perfect characters, and some of the most gorgeous writing I've read in years, sharp as a razor blade, clear as a one-way glass. ― Ellen Kushner, award-winning author of Swordspoint --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Tries too hard

Great publicity about this book which is why I bought it.
Very interesting idea but the author just tries too hard to make it bleak.
Like a lot of new urban fantasy, there is a strong female lead (not a bad thing) but there is little or no humour and an ever increasing downward spiral.
I can fully understand people loving this book but it's not for me.

I liked it but wanted more!

I love adult fantasy and I was very excited to read Book of Night by Holly Black. This is her first adult novel and while it didn't quite hit the mark for me, I did enjoy it. The concept of the story is unique, a world in which shadows can be altered, stolen or even take actual form if you feed them blood. Shadow magic is used to gain power and influence, but it also comes with a high price. Charlie, the protagonist of this story, is a con artist, trying to escape her past and stay on the right side of the law while also protecting her sister. But when the past catches up with her, she has no choice but to play the game she knows best. I would have wanted the secondary characters to be more fleshed out, they didn't feel memorable, but I did like how Charlie was portrayed (the likeable anti-hero with a traumatic past), she matched the mood of the book perfectly. The dark atmosphere was very appealing, though the pace was very slow in the beginning and dizzying when the flashback chapters were introduced. Halfway through, the pace picked up and i was interested to see how things would turn out. I expected it to be a standalone but the open ending left room for a sequel and I probably will pick up book 2 at some point if it comes out.

Loved this!

Charlie Hall lives in a world where shadows can be altered, for entertainment and cosmetic purposes, but also for power and influence. Manipulating shadows comes at a cost, with the potential to take hours or days from your life. Your shadow has all the parts of you that you want to keep hidden - a second self. Sometimes it has a life of its own. Charlie is a bartender and gets by doing odd jobs for her patrons, but when a terrible figure from her past returns, her life is thrown into chaos and her future is anything from unclear to non-existent. Determined to survive, she throws herself into a maelstrom of secrets and murder, setting her against a number of people who are desperate to control the magic of the shadows.

This took me FOREVER to read and I don’t know why because I thought it was really great. I started this when I was on holiday and didn’t have much time to read it when I got back because I have been working so much, and I really think that this prevented me from enjoying it as much as I would have had I not been working. It meant that I struggled to understand a lot of it, particularly about the shadows concept, and I often forgot important small details. Saying that, the concept was very interesting - I definitely have not read a book like this before and I loved Charlie as a main character. She had experienced a lot of trauma in her life and I think Holly Black did an incredible job of showing how she dealt with this.

I think if I’d had the time to dive into this properly then I would’ve ended up rating it 5 stars because there is nothing I can say I didn’t like about it! Definitely my favourite book that I’ve read by Holly Black so far!

A little flat

Unfortunately I found this book a little rushed with an ending that left me thinking 'is that it?' That coupled with a plot hole left me disappointed in a book I was really looking forward to. Likeable characters and an easy read.
