This was my third time reading this book, but it's been a very long time since I last read it and I’d forgotten just how much I love it. Nocturna is the story of a face-changing thief, Finn, and a grieving prince, Alfie, that accidentally release an evil magic into their city and have to stop it before it brings about eternal darkness. Alfie and Finn were such amazing characters, both of them complex and well-written, with hilarious banter. Their journey through the city and the many fights they got into were action-packed and thrilling, and the ending was simply divine. I’m really looking forward to reading the sequel and following them into their next adventure. <33 (Recommended for fans of A Darker Shade of Magic or These Violent Delights.)
