alexrosering 's review for:
Darkdawn
by Jay Kristoff
I can’t remember the last time I was this happy to be done with a book. I’m going to be honest, I skimmed the last 100 pages because I was SO over this.
1. “The many were one” makes absolutely no sense. The pieces of the Anai’s soul need to be one for the moon to be reborn. So why leave half of the soul under gods grave for Scaeva to take? I know it was corrupt, but Mia would have had to take it at some point if we’re going based off this prophecy. How does Jonnen get to live if he has a piece of Anai’s soul? Was Mia just going to murder Scaeva and then kill herself…like what was miss girls plan?
2. Half of the plot makes zero sense and so many of the plot twists are way to convenient. Yes this is fantasy, but you still need to follow some level of rules within the world you create. Like I said on my review for the last book, I feel like Kristoff just writes himself into a corner and ends up writing the most outlandish storylines to make it all come together. It doesn’t feel planned out at all. Characters coming back from the dead, Mia shadow walking across the OCEAN because it’s a little cloudy….come on.
3. Every other review mentions it, but I hated it so much that I can’t leave it out. Writing about your books within your books, and including the negative reviews about them, is so pretentious and weird.
4. Ash. One of the only moments I felt joy in this books was when she got killed. (unfortunately that didn’t even last)
5. Look, I love some smut in my books. But there is a time and a place for it, and Kristoff obviously does not know when that is.
6. The ending of this was SO WEAK. Is Mia dead? Is she alive and Ash is dead?? It doesn’t really matter to me but you can’t convince me the girl who leveled an entire city to (partly) save her brother, would choose to spend her life in a cottage with her lover instead of going to be with him.
7. “Her knee collided with his groin the way falling comets kiss the earth” what the fuck does that even mean. I can guarantee you this isn’t even the worst one, but I vividly remember having to put the book down after this.
There’s a million other things I didn’t like about this book, but honestly I’m tired of thinking about it. This entire series was so disappointing. At least I can confidently say I am not a fan of Kristoff or his writing.
