![]() I loved the innovative way in which Black drew us into a modern-day world which is just a little skewed from reality. Red Glove is the second in Holly Black’s ‘The Curse Workers’ series, which kicked off last year with ‘White Cat’ and which I scored pretty highly. Up until that point, Holly Black is writing one of my favourite modern day fantasies. To be fair, I want to reiterate that the problem comes at the very end of the book, and you may end up disagreeing with me on the validity of the characters’ rationale. That’s why, at the end of the day, Holly Black’s ‘Red Glove’ will receive a lower rating than it would have had I finished reading the book 3 pages earlier. ![]() ![]() Using magic or blaming something on the juvenility of teenagers does not cut it. In the end, if you can’t make me understand why something is happening using formulae from the world I live in, then you’ve screwed up. ![]()
