A review by travelgirlut
Darkborn by Alison Sinclair

3.0

I liked this book and the new, interesting world it is set in, but there were a couple things that didn't push it over the edge to a four-star rating. I felt like the story just skimmed the surface. It was ending right when I was finally starting to get into the world and the characters. Events in the story happened far too quickly and easily. Action scenes come and go in a flash. And the backstory, it needed some. The story would have been so much stronger with a more detailed backstory, more history to the curse and how the Darkborn and Lightborn became as they are. I'm still trying to figure out who or what exactly the Shadowborn are. The whole book actually felt more like a second book in a series where you already know what's going on and they just start right into the story.

I say all these negative things, but I did enjoy the story and it was a good break from reality. I'll probably read the sequel some day, but it won't be a mad rush to the library in the morning.
