Foul Days walked (sprinted?) so Monstrous Nights could run. Dimova created an enthralling story that was impossible to put down. This was full of dry humor, fascinating Bulgarian folklore/magic, and a pinch of romance. And a freaking giant chicken.
The way I was able to immediately dive into the story without feeling lost speaks volumes to how well developed the characters were in the first book. This book was non-stop plot. One resolution would lead to more questions until it was all tied up nicely in the end. Kosara continued her self-discovery in her journey to find the root of the strange new happenings in Chernograd. Asen’s struggle to reconcile his past was sad but believable. The fantasy (almost gothic) murder-mystery type vibes prevail throughout with just a little sprinkle of a tiny romance sub-plot.
This was a great duology that I will recommend to all fantasy lovers. Thank you NetGalley and Tor for the eARC!
