Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab
4.0
I was planning on rating this 3.5-75 before I got to the end.
I didn't enjoy this book as much as it's first volume because it was so entrenched in militarized plot lines and so many side characters and way more plot than I care for in my books. What I enjoyed so much about Book 1 was August and Kate's bond and their story on a human level, set against the monstrous backdrop. Book 2, by contrast, was so focused on the monsters and violence, we lost out on the characters. That being said, what we DID get from the characters was incredible.
I find it INCREDIBLY realistic and satisfying thatKate dies. For all her bravado and fool hardiness, it only makes sense that she get herself killed. And i say that with the utmost love. I wish we had had more of August's reaction following her death.. that's what I crave from Book, that raw human emotion, but alas.....
All in all, I am a Schwab fan girl through and through.
