And I Darken by Kiersten White

4.0

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't the plot driven, character-led, historical fiction book that I got. First of all, I thought this book was going to be a fantasy novel until I finished it and realized there wasn't any magic in it whatsoever. That threw me a little bit. XD Second of all, plot central! I love politically motivated books with lots of strategy. This had both in spades. Third of all, the characters were so well thought out, relatable, and human. While also being mythical in some ways? I don't really know how to explain it.

This was a solid start to the series. It didn't fully grab me, but I could tell the rest of the series will be great.
