Ok! Wow!! I’ve been fighting a reading slump for a bit now, and A Dawn of Onyx helped cure it! I’m trying to make this review as spoiler-free as I can, so will be focusing on things that I made note of while reading:
Our main character Arwen is amazing! The book is told from her perspective and Kate does a great job narrating that and showing the raw emotion, snark, and thought process as Arwen progresses through the story.
Typically, when I read YA books, I’ve noticed that they can sometimes fall into this rut of the MC being a bit…much with the snark and snappish-ness. That is NOT a problem here. Arwen is one of the most well developed characters I’ve met in recent reading, as are the rest of the characters (even the ones with smaller presences).
The twists and turns of the story are great, and never seem like they are out of left field or like they are unbelievable—the story progresses organically and so it never feels clunky or underdeveloped.
All in all, I loved this story! The characters were amazing! I laughed, I cried, I had a great time. If you’re looking for an engaging story to binge or slowly savor, DEFINITELY pick up A Dawn of Onyx!!!
