Daughter of Darkness is a remix of Eurydice and Orpheus' story. It is what I would call Greek Mythology adjacent - in the same camp as Percy Jackson. It's not a retelling which I liked about this book, the Corr sisters make it their own. 

I have to say that the world-building in the first 100 to 150 pages is strong and it was hard to get into the book because of it but it is definitely worthwhile and necessary. The action picks up once the gang gets into the underworld, and that's when you get into the story and want to absorb the pages. I enjoyed the different characters and how they were distinct from each other through their characteristics and strengths. With a slightly larger group size, it's hard to make sure every character has an identity but the Corr sisters did this well. I liked where the story went and the pacing and how the interpersonal relationships are explored with the characters. 

Nat is adorable - I want to see so much more of him in book two.

This is a YA book so if like me you have read a lot of YA you may find the plot a tad predictable but it was still so good to see it play out exactly how you predicted. 

My only issue is that I have to wait for book two! I really want to know what happens next.

It is a solid solid start to a new series, I'm excited to read the next instalment and I highly recommend it.

Thank you NetGalley and the Corr sisters for an ARC copy!
