A review by eloise_bradbooks
Darkdawn by Jay Kristoff
4.0
Maw's paw, I needed time to think about this before writing a review. Altogether, I think I'm pretty satisfied.
What I really appreciated with this third and final book was the whole myth element and world building we got. It was so interesting.
The characters were still bloody brilliant.
There's an unnecessary love triangle that really didn't need to be SO prevalent in this book. And wowdy the amount of explicit sex scenes was over the top (especially when you think about who is writing the story [inside the book AND out of it] and how the lesbian sex was porn worthy). Oh and don't get me started on Jay Kristoff 's fascination for boobs . Or breasts as he likes to say. On every other page.
Although I must say.. Jay Kristoff literally shades himself for a few of these things.. In the book itself.
And yet dispute these annoying things, I couldn't help but absolutely love this. I was entertained all the way through and my heart messed with on repeat.
Romance step aside, cause what moved me the most were Mia's relationship with her Found-dad and her Shadow-cat.
Just know this: This story is about family. And it makes us think it's about blood family but 'byss and blood you realise it's actually more about found family.
So yeah, gentlefriends, I'm touched.
