Igniting Darkness by Robin LaFevers
4.0
Is it funny or sad that I finished the duology, Courting Darkness, before finishing all the books in His Fair Assassin?? I feel like I need to redeem myself and dive back into Grave Mercy and set my mind to finish the books that I never read.
For this book, I dove into the audio version. At first glance, though, I did receive that stupid chapter sampler for an eARC and it was very intriguing enough that I was going to wait patiently for it to be published. It took me a while but I'm finally here diving into this beautiful book and hoping that I will get all the answers that I've wished for.
I won't lie. I really did enjoy the heck out of this. The characters themselves kept me engaged - no matter what storyline I was following. Then there's the court drama, which honestly made me snort sometimes. The things that people said were just hilarious to me. Like for example, when someone would point out the obvious - the Queen being a female and such. I wanted to clap for their little lightbulb moment.
Also female assassins are just such bad asses and are constantly underestimated. Each were loyal no matter what and I just fell in love with them no matter what. The only thing I probably would recommend is a slower-ish ending? Which is kind of weird since it was a long audiobook.. but it just felt rushed in some way. Still liked it all though.
