I went in blind and it was fantastic. Think Robin Hood but swap giving out gold with a medicinal cure.

Started out interesting, then reached a bit of a slow point that dragged. Might pick this back up sometime in the future though.

Mocne 4.5⭐️
Początkowo nie miałam żadnych oczekiwań wobec tej książki, a gdy zobaczyłam, że napisała ją autorka „A Coursed So Dark And Lonely”, to obudził się we mnie lekki sceptycyzm, ale ostatecznie naprawdę dobrze się bawiłam przy tej historii. Momentami była dość przewidywalna, ale nie w nużący sposób. A końcówka jest świetna

This was a reread, and it was just as enjoyable the second time! Such an intricate plot, that perfectly balances demands for changes with the reality of political complications.

Although I wasn't as captivated with the characters and plot of this book as I was with the Cursebreakers series, I did really enjoy Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer. I think most fans of YA fantasy will enjoy this book. There is a swoon-worthy romance and a great supporting cast of characters to root for. I had a good time reading this book and can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
