Immortal Dark is Gothic, decadent tale, riddled with family secrets, bloody politics, and dark magic. Kidan is such a complex character, caring but ruthless (and unhinged), and I loved following her through Uxlay University and watching her develop her views of both the world and herself. There is so much potential here, I'm really excited to see where the author goes.
The romance is a big part of the plot and I found it to be well done and believable, but everything else was so interesting that I didn't much care for it, though I am curious to see how some things will play out given what we discovered in this book. I highly appreciate how the romance didn't take away from Kidan's personality/strengths.
Immortal Dark was my first audiobook narrated by Jordan Cobb but it won't be my last. The performance was incredible; she breathed so much life into the characters. Masterfully done.
Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the ALC.
