Darkness of Dragons by Tui T. Sutherland

goosemixtapes's review

4.0

four stars mostly because it just didn't grab me as hard as the others, though i do have some specific gripes (the love triangle does nothing for me, the soul-measuring thing felt... weirdly morally prescriptive for a series so based on giving everyone a second chance and believing in inherent goodness, and the resolution of the darkstalker plot... also feels contradictory to some of the themes so far (

Spoiler

like, you know, the whole "don't use magic to control others" thing that was such a big deal and literally the conflict?

)

HOWEVER. MS. SUTHERLAND REALLY HIT ME WITH

Pfiouuu c'était intense... et quelle fin de cycle! Qibli, le plus smart, le moins sur de lui. J'ai mis plus de temps à le lire, mais je l'ai quand même bien apprécié. Il était un peu longuet au début parce qu'on répétait l'histoire, et moi je voulais savoir ce qui allait se passer APRÈS. J'ai bien aimé voir que Spectral n'était justement pas tout blanc tout noir, même s'il était bien plus blanc que noir. J'attendais la réapparition de Fatale, et me demandait vommrnt elle allait refaire surface. J'ai adoré comment les pouvoirs ont été utilisés, c'était cool à suivre. Je suis déçue pour Winter, mon pauvre bébé. Et je me demande comment a évoluer la situation Onyx. 

Je ne pense pas continuer la saga. Je vais probablement lire quelques pages du premier du 3eme cycle pour voir mais je m'arrêterai la. C'était vraiment chouette, pleins de rebondissements, d'amitiés fortes, d'aventures... tout ce que j'aime. Ça m'a ramené à La guerre des clans que je cherissais tant. Bref. Fiuuu 

Note :16,5/20

Book and story line was good but I’m mad about Moon’s choice! It was not what I wanted to happen so I’m in my feelings about that. Looking forward to the next book.

most of the book felt wrong. Qibli was clever as always and managed to find a way around the rules. I don't really like the animus magic stuff but it was done a bit better in this book.

I wish Moon didn't feel like she was forced to choose between Qibli and Winter. It's like she thought she needed romance and just randomly chose Qibli. They're good for each other, yes, but i thought moon viewed them as merely friends.

Plus... they seemed to get together reallyyyyy quickly.

Okay, I have never felt so baited in my entire life. I legit thought Clearsight was back and I was screaming. She is my absolute favourite character. Then-

why does she have no personality?!

*sobs* she's not actually in here...

Okay, that aside, the dragons really are just teenagers having a rough time with puberty. dragons have feelings too!
