nerdinthelibrary 's review for:
And I Darken
by Kiersten White
DID NOT FINISH
DNF'd at 25%
Normally I would try to get to at least halfway through before DNFing a book, but I already didn't like this and then I read some reviews pointing out the problematic aspects of this book. I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough to talk about it so look at these reviews if you're curious (one two three four five six)
Aside from the problematic aspects, this book is also just so dull. Even when exciting things are happening, Kiersten White's style of writing is so unengaging and makes everything so incredibly uninteresting.
The characters were equally uninteresting but in a different way. Lada and Radu were complete stereotypes, with Lada being the classic Strong Female Character who is violent, angry and hates women, and Radu (despite being one of the POV characters) is a Token Gay Character who is nonviolent, manipulative and pining after a straight boy.
It's fine if you like it but there is literally no chance of me ever picking this up again.
