A review by desertlover
Give the Dark My Love by Beth Revis

4.0

You would think given the title, I would have been prepared for a heavy read. However, my continuous thought throughout this book was: "This book is so morbid.." Despite the bleakness, I thought it was a fantastic read. The first chapter had me riveted and hooked on the storyline. After that, the flow of the book slows and like Nedra, I was slowly immersed into this intense world. The balance between action and character development is well balanced. Most fantasies shy away from first person POVS, but I enjoyed having Grey and Nedra as the narrators. Often times, the gruesome plot is difficult, but the characters themselves had me invested in the story. The ending is explosive and left me staring at my iPad for ten minutes. I cannot wait for for the follow-up to this duet.

If you like darker YA/fantasy, this is one I'd definitely recommend.

Thank you to Penguin's First to Read for my advanced review copy.
