The Daylight War by Peter V. BrettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bruhhhh what just happened!!
Reeling, I am REELING.
Firstly, I really enjoyed the backtracking to see Inevera's past. I thought it was quite fascinating, and a great way to create sympathy for a character that has, thus far, kind of been a trouble-making antagonist. It was great to learn a little more about her and how she came to be the snake she is in the present.
Lots of political manoeuvrings in this one, and less demons. I find myself feeling less for the Hollowers and more for the Krasians. Leesha is driving me insane with her fickleness and the whole plot her mum comes up with and she decides to execute?! WHY. So I find myself really starting to dislike her. Same with Rojer - his shenanigans and hot temper really kinda annoy me. They seem to act very high and mighty which is the opposite of what Arlen has ever wanted.
Tell you what, though - I really love Renna. I wasn't sure how I felt about her at first, and her mood swings are wild, but I like how fierce she's become and how hard she stands by Arlen.
Meanwhile, the bloodthirsty Krasians are slowly winning me over. They have some brutal methods and take killing very lightly and also treat most of their women terribly, but somehow I find myself really admiring them and the organisation they have.
That final chapter of course had me reading with my mouth hanging open and anxious for everyone involved - I'll have to pick up the next book sooner than I anticipated now!
All in all, I really loved this installment. The series is building to a point where I have no clue what's going to happen and that really excites me.
