Lady of Darkness by Melissa K. Roehrich
3.0
3.5 ⭐️
The plot and the world building was so intriguing and really gripped me! I am excited and want to continue the series for that, but there were some elements that kept me from rating it higher.
I liked the characters (some definitely more than others), but didn’t particularly love any of them and Scarlett & her attitude bugged me/gave me whip lash lol. All their secrets were interesting and added to their character dimension for sure, but the reference to them constantly among all the characters as stuff they “couldn’t say” was a tad annoying.
There were also some conflicts with Sorin that she was so tunnel vision on labeling as “lying to her” and “betraying” her, but if she truly listened to him would have realized she was being so dramatic. She doesn’t like him, then she likes him. She loves him then one tiny thing is said/done and she hates him/doesn’t like him again. Was kind of exhausting to read through.
And plot-wise/their war history-wise there were some things that seemed to go over my head or that I had thought were already introduced one way and then were explained slightly different later on (though that could totally be a me issue
