A review by alysepalsulich
Darkness Comes Again by K.M. Davidson

5.0

There are books that you devour and blow through, then there are those that you savor so that you can enjoy every last moment. This, was one I savored. K.M. Davidson has developed my new favorite fantasy world. For fans of Throne of Glass and Lord of the Rings, I would highly recommend Darkness Comes Again. Honestly, I would recommend this book to any reader as it takes the tropes, characters, and feelings that we know and shines an entirely new light on them.

In this world, readers are introduced to various levels of magic users including one of our main characters Reva. Reva lives her life as the apprentice of a great healer until she is called into the palace to help heal a young prince. At this point, the novel picks up speed faster than nearly any deep fantasy I can recall. I adored every last word of this novel and even more so loved seeing the character relationships that develop between Reva, the prince, the princess, a guard and others. I loved that there was a different twist on the balance of magic and how the royals were handling it (can you tell I'm trying to avoid any and all spoilers? Please just go read this for yourself).

I can't even begin to express what a joy this book was to read and more so HOW I NEED THE REST OF THE SERIES.
