5.0

This is the best NA fantasy i’ve read this year. Maybe ever. Original, captivating, addicting. Pain and family expectations are two themes that really drive the story. Really easy but interesting world building. 

All of the predictions I made as I was reading were wrong, which is a good thing! I didn’t find The Darkening predictable or cliche at all. 

The last half of the book is especially thrilling with shades of Hell Bent and  Red Queen. 

Yeah, no complaints at all. Can’t for book 2.
