And I Darken
by Kiersten White
I really wish I could have read this book in one sitting, I would have completely lost my mind over it! (In the best ways). unfortunately, life happens, but despite my not having the ability to consume this book in one go, I still fell in love with it.
Lada is not a lovable character, but I can definitely relate to her in many ways. She has this fierce intensity that the author was able to capture and make real. Lada is perhaps one of the realest characters I've ever read. I love that the author stayed true to the characters and never broke who they truly were. There were sooooooooo many awesome characters in this book and I felt like I knew them all. Sweet baby Radu, I just want the best for him. I want so badly for them all to get a happy ending!
I love how the book was written, filled with details and history. This book is filled with world building and just immersing you in the story. I was there with Lada and Radu and everything they went through, I went through. Everything they felt, I felt. Each skipped heartbeat, every ounce of hatred, all their confusion.
*Somewhat of a spoiler*
The ending caught me by surprise. I thought that it would end in so much death, but what I read was somehow more heartbreaking. What's worse? Having the choice ripped from you, or choosing to be ripped away? I'm not sure, but this book truly left me in the exact same way Lada felt with her heart torn out.
