Goodreads synopsis

Review:

Myth: 4/5

I really enjoyed Tybalt’s perspective. My one comment for readers is that I’d put some space between reading The Innocent Sleep and Sleep No More. These are the same story, told from two perspectives, and while Tybalt and October aren’t together for the majority of the story, the overall plot is still the same. I read both in the same month, and I found The Innocent Sleep a bit repetitive in some places. Either way, it’s the same wonderful fae world we’ve come to love.

Magic: 4/5

As you might expect, with Tybalt in the driver's seat and the courts of cats so uniquely affected by the storyline, we get a bit more feline fun than normal.

Overall: 4/5

I loved being in Tybalt’s head. We’ve been denied his perspective for far too long! Now if only we could get into the Luidaeg’s!
