Dark Triumph by Robin Lafevers
5.0
Ten stars!!
I had high hopes for this series, and this is the book that completely sold me onto not only it, but Robin LaFevers' work as a whole. It only took a few pages for me to become completely obsessed with the characters and the world they live in. This is a dark, grim read, yet it's uplifting moments balance out the horrors of what the main characters have endured.
Sybella is one of the strongest, most empowering female protagonists ever put to page. Her bravery and ferocity in the face of horrors and trials I cannot begin to imagine kept my riveted. The girl endured truly atrocious things at the hands of her family, and her progression through her arc had me hooked. Along with her is Beast, an ugly man with a heart of pure gold. The two of them together are a force to be reckoned with, and their romance completely swept me off my feet.
The writing, action, plot twists, and secrets made for a stellar story. This book is expertly plotted and paced, and makes for a perfect read, despite the truly challenging subjects it tackles. I could not stop reading for anything, and was thinking about the book even after I'd put it down.
This is a masterpiece of character development, romance, plot twists, and growth. Inspiring, moving, and thrilling right from the beginning, this is not a book anyone should miss out on!
