3.5 stars. This was an enjoyable book that showed actual writing talent -- not common enough in YA paranormal/dystopian fic, alas. But it wasn't as good as the first. Spoilers ahead. I dislike recapping series plots because they're too reliant on the previous book(s) -- and this one is pretty much what it says in the blurb, so I'll be lazy & head directly to the positives. -No love triangle. That in itself is worthy of a parade. :P The Eleanor/Daniel romance doesn't progress much, butThis is going to be the vaguest review ever because Susan Dennards A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY doesnt come out for another eight months still, but I cant not talk about it. The sequel to SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY, this novel picks up right where the first left off. The Spirit Hunters have fled Philadelphia, and Eleanor Fitt is dealing with the aftermath. When the evil necromancer Marcus reappears, Eleanor heads to Paris via steamer to track down Joseph, Daniel, and Jie. Aboard the ship she
When it comes to personal reader's hype it's hard to deal with alot of emotions from jubilation to disappointment. A Darkness Strange and Lovely by Susan Dennard made me run through alot of emotions. Not all good and not all bad. The writing of course of superb that I quickly zoomed through this book. Sadly, this felt like a meal that left me hungry. Picking up months later, Eleanor has to run when Marcus the necromancer one of the foes whose started the chaos from before,starts to hunt her.
Well, that was interesting. Demons are brought into the mix. And I was iffy at first about the introduction of Oliver, since I thought he was going to be another love interest. But I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't. In fact, (view spoiler)[I think he's gay, in which case YAAAAAASSSS. I would totally applaud Susan Dennard for doing this. (hide spoiler)] I also liked that Eleanor sorta went all anti-hero in this one.It wasn't as awesome as the first book but I still enjoyed myself. Let's
Ahhhhh, I need the next one now! But then it will be all over. :/ Conflicted!!!!!!!!Daniel and Eleanor though! These two crazy kids, breaking my heart and then making me swoon... they have to be together in the last book. THEY HAVE TO. Please???! (view spoiler)[ WHAT A HOT, HOT KISS NEAR THE END. HOLY SMOKES! (hide spoiler)] I think I loved the first one more -I'm still sorting out my thoughts as I'm a little torn on a few things overall - but this was a fantastic sequel. The stakes were much
*Dies of pretty*
Even though this book has multiple flaws I will bring up, it possesses one quality Ive struggled to find in books lately; its entertaining.Boredom is my worst enemy, and I did not experience it during this book.It was acceptable, but that doesnt mean Ill stop ranting about every PNR trope in it. That's what I live for. Trope number 1: Our MC is like that secondary character, often best friend, found in fiction, who is just there without doing anything but still people worship her. Speshul
