Potential spoilers……..
Good YA start to the series. I enjoyed it enough to finish the book.
I did think Alina was a little whiny/naive in some parts of the book. But I also understand the allure of the darkling. And the power he wields. I was glad to see Mail wasn’t truly upset with Alina as it wasn’t her fault she was the Sun summoner. But he isn’t my top choice for a love interest either.. I feel like if the whole story went with her joining the Darkling that would be a wild twist & probably make this whole series even better.
I did like the twist of her power that it wasn’t solely the darkling’s, just because he killed the stag. That did add a nice little underdog overcomes type of touch to the story.

I enjoyed the book so much, that it took me just a few days to finish. I could have finished it in 2, but work kinda got in the way! Anyways, I have a love-hate relationship with Darkling. I hate that I love him! I’m excited to start the second book!!!

It is by no means a literary masterpiece. But it was cute and a really easy read, so for the simple fact that I enjoyed it, I gave it 4 stars! I’d probably give it a 3 if I was critiquing but I’m in a generous mood today
