βDefy the Nightβ by Brigid Kemmerer
κ§κ§ π©πππ πΉπππππ κ§κ§
π Summary:
βDefy the Nightβ is a twisty, edge-of-your-seat YA fantasy which is actually a really cool Robin Hood πΉ retelling. It follows Tessa, a marked outlaw, and Corrick, the Kingβs brother, as they work together to help disseminate an antidote to the kingdomβs poor who have been struck by an illness.
π Review:
A corrupt kingdom, a star-crossed romance, outlaws, court intrigue and rebellions - βDefy the Nightβ literally has it all! I loved the fact that the book has dual POVs of both Tessa and Corrick because I love to hear both sides of the story π€π€!
Brigid Kemmerer has blended magic and politics with a deft hand. The political machinations were excellent and the tension between the rebels and the ruling family was so well written! I especially loved the themes of duty, loyalty and love.
There is no harder thing for Tessa and Corrick to face than really looking at their loyalties and where their beliefs are challenged. Both of them were strong and very relatable characters, and I ended up liking the whole cast, including the palace workers who are usually underrepresented in fantasy stories.
If you like YA Fantasy with a medieval feel and princes on the brink of war, struggling to hold their kingdom together, I HIGHLY recommend this book! Canβt wait to read the sequel, βDefend the Dawnβ!!
