The Midnight Kingdom
by Tara Sim
Wowowow i have not read a book that made me feel so much since KOA. I am blown away by the events that take place in this book. It was an incredible fantasy that I am sooooooo sad is over. I tried to savor this book as much as I could because I just did not want it to end. Here are my unfiltered thoughts:
In the first book, a lot of these characters’ stories intertwined, but in this book they’re mostly separated following their own path and I absolutely loved this. Watching them individually form relationships outside of their normal circle and work outside of their “comfort zone” so to speak added so much more depth to the story.
I loved the way the author portrays a certain character so close to giving up but choosing to move forward anyways even though she believes there’s no point. (She experiences quite a loss) I feel like a lot of readers can resonate with feeling like this which makes the scene all the more powerful. It was beautiful.
There are so many unexpected allies who become integral members of the heirs’ journies. Yet the author still manages to write it in an organic way that you can’t imagine them not being apart of it.
These poor heirs are put through the absolute RINGER like jeez…. they have to go through some really horrible things. I can’t even begin to tell you which one has it worse.. my heart was aching for each of them.
Can I also say, this author has such an incredible talent of seamlessly transitioning from one POV to another. It’s absolutely flawless. Almost as if the scene is playing out like a movie in my mind.
The cliffhanger broke my heart but perfectly set up the continuation for the next book which I will be DEVOURING as soon as it’s released. This book is an absolute 10/10 and I recommend it to any and all fantasy readers.
