Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab
4.0

Date read: October 8-October 11, 2019

Actual Rating: 4.00 STARS

I've said it before that I am not so much into Kate's character. I didn't hate her, I just didn't love her character that much. I loved tough female characters, but for me, her personality is just plain hard and stubborn and irrational some times. But what happened to her in the last part, I just really feel sad. Maybe it's inevitable. I actually think that what happened to her is the best way to give her character. I even wondered in some part of the story on how would the author decides Kate's fate. I thought it is the best conclusion for her. Because for me, she was somehow holding August back with her being a sinner. Maybe the big portion of my regret with her character is, as August said, she was the reason he was fighting to be a human even if a lot of people needed him as a monster. With her being gone, I just really feel sorry for August. I just wanted for August to be less in pain, that's all.

All in all, I enjoyed this duology so much. A really great read from Victoria Schwab's works. I am just so excited to read more of her books.
