5/30/2023 0 Comments Holly black white cat seriesHe doesn’t really let himself get close to anyone, but he does start to trust Sam. Cassel has tried really hard to act like a normal kid and not a member of a worker family with ties to the mob and a mother in prison. I loved the friendship between Cassel and his roommate Sam. He’s clever and sarcastic and I absolutely loved watching him be cunning and conning. He does try really hard to do the right thing – though his definition of “right” is often pretty skewed. I LOVE Cassel! In White Cat I liked him, but didn’t love him, but in Red Glove I really became all about him. I liked that he could grow as a character without completely changing himself. It’s probably kind of wrong to say on a moral level, but I really liked that about him. While Cassel does have character growth, he doesn’t really become a “better” person and he has no plans to lead a life free of crime. I think sometimes authors try to hard to teach us some sort of big life lesson and it doesn’t always work for me. – This book was pretty different than most YA books and I really appreciated it. I was just going to give up, but I ended up really enjoying this series and want to give it some recognition, so I thought I’d just share some random thoughts about it. I tried really hard to do a nice series review of the Curse Workers by Holly Black, but for some reason it just didn’t turn out how I wanted it to.
