King of the Dark by Ariana Nash
2.0
The first part was a mess. I couldn't figure out why Niko was talking so crazy to Vasili. Like, this guy is a prince. I don't think you would break a prince's wrist, or say whatever you wanted to him. But the good part about this story was that I just had to see where it was going to end, at least for this first book, and so I kept reading.
Turns out there were some amazing plot twists. One of them I guessed early on, but the other two were really great and made me definitely like the book more.
On a final note. Some of the writing got a little heavy. There was a lot of over explaining character emotions both in dialogue and scenes. I think that could have been much lighter with more reliance on subtext. And some of the characters behave in an over the top dramatic way (ahem, Amir, you were disgusting) but then again I guess I can get behind it.
Great plot twists, mostly decently everything else.
