I went into And I Darken knowing nothing at all. Though I did hear many great things about this read. I felt as though it was hyped too much for me. It did fall short of my expectations. The storyline and momentum were great. I really enjoyed Lada's character and her attitude. It was great to have a strong and feisty female lead from the very beginning. It was as though the roles were switched. During the story there was more than one problem going on, which I really enjoyed. This allowed for more interaction with the characters and learning more about their world. The writing style was good and allowed the story to flow well. Though with these highs came some lows. I found myself getting annoyed with character most of the time and found myself getting upset when a chapter in their POV would come up. With the characters and the story so much more could have happened. I absolutely loved Lada! For her alone, I will keep up with this series and see what she becomes and where she will go. I know it will be great. I do recommend you pick this up if you weren't planning on it and if you were then great! While this book lacked for me I'm sure the second will be everything I hoped this one would be. I cannot wait for it!
