The Beauty of Darkness
by Mary E. Pearson
IT’S JUST SO GOOD.

This is a reread review.
Good heavens. Mary E. Pearson is a brilliant author and I love all of her books and I have loved rereading her entire set. THEY ARE ALL AMAZING.
I forgot how absolutely intense this entire book is. I felt like it rarely let up and just kept hammering home the nature of everything daunting the cast was facing.
And the romance??? THE ANGST, THE WILL THEY OR WON’T THEY. I also found myself freaking out trying to remember how it all specifically worked out because Pearson does not hold back on creating the drama and the hope that Lia ends up with her best match.
I liked how the other side romance went too. Such a sweet and tender romance that was built between them (vague because spoilers) and seeing both of these couples again in DoT & VoT is an even bigger highlight.
There’s so much action, politicking, betrayals and twists. It has all the feels, and all you need in a fantastic YA fantasy trilogy.
READ THEM.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy Romance
- Language: some mild
- Romance: closed door
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: battle and war themes, loss of loved ones, physical violence, weapons violence, childbirth
