A review by sushizhan
Now I Rise by Kiersten White
4.0
This was a good ending and is beautifully written.
PROS:
- def one of the better written YA books/series I’ve read
- a good representation of religious differences and conflicts that arise
- anti-war sentiments from Radu’s POV
- Lada, Radu POVs
- good open ended ending
CONS:
- not so good with war details
- not trying to be historically accurate (then again it IS Fiction)
-Mehmed (he pisses me off!!!)
Overall: LOVE. This is actually getting me interested to know what are the real historical facts surrounding Vlad the Impaler and the conquests of Constantinople.
EDIT: ok so I thought this was going to stay a duology... but apparently not...?!?!
