If you've read K.F. Breene's Demigods of San Francisco series and were hoping to see more from that world, you are in luck. Obsidian follows Daisy, the morally grey teenager with stabby tendencies and uncanny survival skills, that you first met in DoSF. But now, Daisy is all grown up and fiercer than ever. One of the things I love about Daisy though is that she is not just all sass and viciousness. She is so incredibly resilient and loyal, a total black cat but one who would do anything to protect those who have earned her love and trust. In fact, both main characters are more complex & nuanced than they may initially appear. Tarian is the perfect cunning, ruthless, and cocky fae villain you can’t help but like, but with Daisy, we are able to see another side to him. Maybe he has more of a softer side than he lets on or maybe he is just playing the game. It was interesting trying to figure out what is real and what his true desires and motives are.
In true K.F. Breene fashion, the tension and chemistry between our MCs is off the charts. Their banter and back and forth is superb; it is full of the "I hate that I want you" vibes that I love. And I got a huge kick out of how into Daisy's viciousness Tarian is. It reminded me of Casteel and Poppy in that he enjoys her savage side and finds it adorable, even when it is directed at him. Sprinkle in the "mine" moments and the touch her and d!e (slowly & painfully) vibes that Tarian delivers, and I ate it up with a spoon. There isn't a lot of spice, but what is there brings the heat, and the simmering tension and attraction is just waiting to boil over in the next book.
Obsidian has a little darker tone than its predecessor series, but I wouldn't consider it a particularly dark romance. It is still laced with Breene's signature humor that had me literally laughing out loud at times. If you're a fan of Breene, you know that her side characters can sometimes steal the show, and this book is no different. Their quips and one-liners left me in stitches. While we don't see them often, I enjoyed the peeks into their characters and dynamics, and I am expecting we'll see more from them in the next book.
This book is a fun and intriguing ride from start to finish. The plot twists at the end took what I thought I knew and flipped it on its head. I did not see them coming and am excited to see where they lead. I can't wait for the next book!
