A Dawn of Onyx
by Kate Golden
4 stars for enjoyment and binge ability.
3 stars for writing and plot.
It is super unoriginal and one of those books that if you analyze too closely you’ll probably realize it’s not that good. But the vibes are here and i feel like it’s scratching the ACOTAR itch just a little, tiny bit. It did get better the further into the book I got. It’s got all the tropes in a way that feels like the author was purposefully trying to make sure it had a bunch of the tropes that she knows people love. Like it isn’t that good but the vibes are good so I’m was fully invested and kinda loving it. The world building wasn’t overly complicated and I never felt like I was bored.
Biggest complaints are the MC’s felt younger at times. She is 20 so that fit but I guess it just had more YA vibes in the beginning. That did start to get better towards the end though. She was so naïve and it was kinda annoying but it made sense with her character so I was able to get passed that. Honestly, if I think about it much more I might start to like it less so. it was fun and I read it fast and I would recommend if you’re someone who is down for a fun read that doesn’t require much critical thought.
