And I Darken
by Kiersten White
I admit to buying the hardback last year based solely on the gorgeous cover. It's been sitting on my shelf all this time, but I decided to listen to it after noticing it audio Overdrive. My knowledge on the Ottoman Empire to limited to countless years ago during undergrad days, so the historical piece felt new and interesting. There's extensive character development and world-building, but the payoff is priceless.
Lada is a fascinating character. She is so fierce and flawed, but it made my only love her more. My heart constantly ached for sweet Radu and his endless quest to just be loved. I admit to despising Mehmed about the 50% mark and don't believe that opinion will ever change. However, the sultan and political aspect fascinated though me because it contrast from own logics. I cannot wait to start the next installment. This is intense and slow building storyline, but I definitely recommend it!
Audio Notes - Fiona Hardingham is phenomenal. If I had read this, I don't think it would have been as compelling as it listening to it. I highly recommend this one via audio!
