Now I Rise by Kiersten White
5.0
"I will make you proud. No one will be more brutal than me. No one will be more ruthless. And I will never stop fighting".
Everything gets more bloodier in this book. This book is basically about war. Lada's battle to become Prince of Wallachia and Mehmed's siege of constantinople. And then, there's Radu still completely obsessed with Mehmed, constantly going on and on about Mehmed being "his Mehmed" and what not. It was quite annoying. He did everything to please Mehmed because he thought maybe if did more Mehmed would love him instead of Lada. He actually believed Mehmed didn't know how he felt about him but Mehmed, the clever, cunning bastard knew all along but refused to dismiss his delusions. He however used it to his advantage, to get Radu to do everything he wants. And Radu the fool will going about doing everything while chanting " I am always yours Mehmed".
I don't care if it makes me an evil witch but that sex scene between Mehmed and Lada. I wish Radu was within the vicinity, so the poor fool can die of a heart attack.
This book made me understand why Lada and Mehmed are best suited for each other. They are both ambitious, ruthless and determined. They will destroy everything that stands in the way of their ambition. I wished they had stayed together, just so I could see the mayhem they will unleash on each other. One person will probably kill the other person in the night. I also wanted to read from Mehmed's POV, just to know how he thinks of all the evil stuff he does.
I enjoyed this book, except some of Radu's parts. I think Lada loves Radu more than he loves her. She will always pick him over Mehmed while Radu will do the exact opposite. He will probably kill Lada, if his precious Mehmed ordered it.
Thank you Lada for always looking out for yourself and loving yourself first. And, thank you for leaving Mehmed's stupid ass.
