Booklist - 09/15/2024 Nox won’t be apart from his twin, Noah, because then he can’t help Noah fight the illness eating him alive. Their prior separation threw Nox into fits of rage at school, getting him expelled for beating up bullies. When Nox joins Noah at a cabin in Maine’s northern woods, he catches an eerie presence, like the ghost of a wolf, creeping through the window after midnight and hovering over Noah. Fearing it’s the cause of Noah’s suffering, Nox vows to destroy the wolf and one night follows it deep into the woods. He discovers that the wolf comes from a world of eternal night that many beings call home—a home, Nox learns, that was once his and his brother’s, a place where his anger has power. Hassan paints a beautifully dark world with truly haunting details; sensitive readers beware. While the prose is enchanting and the mystery absorbing, the resolution for Nox is a little tidy, somewhat undermining his struggle with anger. Still, fans of darker themes will find much to enjoy here. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
