milointhewoods 's review for:
Blackbringer
by Laini Taylor
a reread of what was one of my favourite childhood books. probably the fourth time i’m reading it?
a lot more dirty jokes that anticipated, which was frankly entertaining and it has been significantly long enough that i wasn’t sure which direction the plot was going in. i still mourn the third book, and as it looks nowhere in the making i probably won’t read the second because of the cliffhanger i’ve heard it ends on. sad because of how much i dearly enjoyed this.
the writing is easy to consume and perennially readable but not juvenile or middle grade. the characters are young, but they’re realistic and righteous and stubborn and very entertaining. they have clear flaws and clear goals, even magpie: the chosen one of this novel, is stubborn and mean at times. no one is perfect and that makes this book so much better.
the descriptions, as always with laini taylor, are really easy to envision, as are the characters. the settings is the real pièce de resistance here though, because i’ve talked many a time about my adoration for a magical forest. i would kill for my own magical forest but for now i’ll remain happy to read them, and dream dark is a quintessentially perfect magical forest.
