lenerz 's review for:
Darkstalker
by Tui T. Sutherland
This book hurt me, physically. I don't think I've been able to muster up so much emotion ever since I hit puberty.
Where do I start?
Okay, well first. PAIN PAIN PAIN! There's just Clearsight and Darkstalker being adorable dorks and her wondering what's gonna happen and all the dark futures and I just cry everyday because from the main series, we know that Darkstalker's gonna turn evil and everything hurts when you see them happy and then there starting tension and then they don't see the signs of Darkstalker going insane but you do as the reader and it just hurts.
I swear to god that is what it felt like reading this book. We got to explore the old Night Kingdom and it's beauty and peace and wonderfulness. It was a place of culture where the NightWings thrived and were happy. We stepped into the past. But already reading the main series, and knowing the fates of all the characters in the books, there was no hoping for things to get better, there was no deus ex machina to pull the characters out of trouble, there was just watching in horror as everything unfolded. I don't know right now if this was a weakness or a strength of the book. I felt like there were some parts that were very emphasized in the future that didn't get a lot of attention in this book.
(Jesus, I suck at reviewing)
There were other things about this book, though. I loved how rich the characters were, how three-dimensional and funny they were. The writing is on point, and through the narrative, we could feel the colors and emotions, I could see flashes of pain and fear in my head. I felt a literal knot in my stomach, worrying about Darkstalker and the characters and everything happening. One thing I really have to complement the author on is the fact that we knew what was going to happen to the characters (if you've read the main series), but you still felt the suspense of the events. It was super hardcore.
Agh, I can't. I really can't review. I tried. I attempted. This book is a treasure and I need Tui T. Sutherland's next literary artwork. Everything about this series is gold. I genuinely can't think anymore. I need Talons of Power or I will literally combust.
Edit: Along with not being able to review, it seems I cannot spell or grammar, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

"The hardest thing about being a seer [...] is seeing that the future is always a million possibilities [...] But the past is only one thing. Once something happens, that's it."
