I have been listening to this for almost 7 hours and absolutely nothing has happened. Nothing. A lot of Lada being an absolute bitch to anyone and everyone and her brother being an obviously homosexual wannabe Muslim and everyone else is out to kill them. I am so over this mess. I hate Lada. She is ...
The author did an impressive amount of work putting this together, from research about locations, politics and military structure, to explorations of feminism and identity. I really lost interest midway through, though. The gender-flipped Vlad the Impaler, Lada, spends too much time being irritating...
No one expects a princess to be brutal. And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival...
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.This was a truly epic story. This story spans a lot of years and tells a sometimes brutal story. I was hooked by the book from almost the first page. I really couldn't get my mind to focus on anything besides this story until I had reach...
(This review is also on my personal blog Atta's Bibliophilia.) I expected something a little more different but And I Darken is everything I could have ever wanted in a book even though there is no magic! I can't believe what an amazing book Kiersten White has written and I expect for the whole t...
„And I Darken“ von Kiersten White begegnete mir zuerst auf Nadines Blog MAD Books. Sie stellte es im April anlässlich der Aktion Gemeinsam Lesen vor und schrieb, die Protagonistin Lada sei erfrischend anders, weil sie keine typische Prinzessin sei, sondern unbequem, gemein und rücksichtslos. Sie emp...
I loved this book. It was incredible. It was intense and action packed and vicious and....ugh, I can't take it! IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! *cue fangirl flailing* I've calmed down enough to make a list of coherent thoughts. I'm probably forgetting some things, but whatever. If I remember it, I will add it ...
So I really did like this but I got so bored near the end. I think the politics overtook the story a bit too much for my liking. Its got a strong badass female character that's easy to love as well as sibling relationships that I always want to read in YA. Lada and her brother Radu have grown up k...
I would say Lada is a badass female character, but Lada is bloody savage. She went back to the mountain in her mind, stood on its peak, remembered the way the sun had embraced her. She would never toss aside her country the way her father had. She would protect it. A small sob threatened to break f...
I think it would be great if publishers would stop comparing everything with other popular books, because most of the time it doesn't even make sense. Like in And I Darken which is set to be a teenage Game of Thrones. Why I ask, since there are no dragons or ice zombies or Seven Kingdoms for that ma...
