Getting to go on this journey with Zu was amazing.
Also, there are plenty of emotional punches and downtime to catch your breath. It is 500+ pages and every one is used well. By the end, I felt like I had read multiple books, not because it was disjointed, it was a very cohesive experience, but because you go through so much on the book. We jump from one life-threatening situation to the next and every time the pace and stakes and danger is ratcheted up the perfect amount to keep you hooked. Alex Bracken was clearly working through her own reaction to the election, but the book does not read as a straight allegory and it does not bludgeon the reader with TRUMPPPP, it is just something that is present in the conflicts in the book. You can see a lot of this book as a reaction to America’s political climate at the moment. It fights against blind hope and trust and really hits home with the message that you must be active in society to keep those in power from abusing that power. Did I love the way In the Afterlight ended? Yes.ĭid the Darkest Legacy come in and make me love it too? Fuck yes.ĭid my first attempt at a review at a review get deleted? Yes, and I am mad about it.
