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

4.5

Darkness Comes Again is a really fantastic debut novel. I seriously couldn’t put it down. The world building is unique, and I love the magic system. The characters are also all very likable (with the exception of those we’re not meant to like, of course). 

Set in a world where Magics, and especially Sirians, are looked upon with disgust and fear, Reva works to understand who and what she is. I really enjoyed Reva as a character, despite some of her more frustrating moments. I loved getting to see her open up as the story progressed, sometimes without her even realizing it. Her relationship with Fin is complicated but cute. Their dynamic is great, and Fin makes for a great MMC. I also really loved Clint, the young prince suffering from a mystery illness that Reva is brought in to treat and cure. He’s a really fun and sassy kid, and his interactions with Reva brought me so much joy. He’s presented as such a strong kid despite the horrible hand he’s been dealt in life, and I think that makes him easy to admire. I can’t wait to see where his story goes in the next book after the developments near the end of Darkness Comes Again. 

I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series. Darkness Comes Again sets up for what I suspect will be a really fun and interesting plot in book two.
