Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer
4.75
adventurous emotional inspiring lighthearted mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Defy the night was fast-paced with a cast of characters I loved. 

I was immediately sucked into the book, so much so that it got me out of a 2 month reading slump!

I loved how the book equally focused on the plot of revolution, unease and fighting back as well as the characters personal problems and developments. 

I was stuck on which side to stand on the whole book (that of the royals or the rebels) seeing as we got perspectives from both sides, which was one of my favourite parts of the book. 

I liked that there was romance but it wasn’t the main plot.

I thought the world building was well done so that it wasn’t easy to understand and follow and no info dumping.

Over all I hope in the next two books we get to see more of some of the other characters such as Lochlan. 

I can’t wait to finish the series!
