Look, when you have assassins, mafia, and a brilliant Italian inspired locale, you have me /sold/. Paired with beautiful writing that simply flows and a diverse cast—and MAGIC—Amy Rose Capetta's THE BRILLIANT DEATH has little readers would not want.
I was hooked on this story from the get-go. While some parts did feel a bit underdeveloped—I'm pretty sure that's my main complaint—the overall plot kept me engaged. And with the beautiful imagery throughout, it was always so easy to fall back into this world.
I adored the characters! Teo was bad-ass and I adored her voice. She's smart, efficient, and positively deadly. Cielo was another super interesting character and I loved them! They have an interesting magic ability that was super cool to read about.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book! Would definitely recommend.
