I can see why some readers would hate Scarlett but I kinda love her. She is a traumatized badass who essentially disassociates regularly. The relationships in the story were great—it was nice to see a strong platonic relationship. Sorin pissed me off a few times but I guess that’s just male behavior (sigh).

Lady of Darkness was a bit predictable and heavily borrows themes from other popular fantasy novels, but I don’t care. It was a lot of fun and I found myself invested in the story. It could also benefit from being edited again. Off to read book 2!
