And I Darken by Kiersten White
4.0

I broke my book ban for this one! No regrets :D

Writing
I liked the writing, and some quotes are really powerful!
Story
The story is rather slow. The point is more to showcase the different culture the characters are thrown into, and to see how they evolve in that new environment. By the end, things shake up a little, and it ends with a great premise for the next book!
Characters
I’m in love with Lada and Radu. I just enjoyed everything about them, the way they interact, and how utterly terrible they are both capable of being. The characters in this book felt so real, it was amazing.

Conclusion
This is not a fast paced book, but I really appreciated the portrayal of the ottoman empire (which I honestly don’t know much about), it felt really vivid. There’s really good representation in this one, too!
