Duskbound Book Review

Duskbound (Esprithean Trilogy #2) Book Summary From Goodreads

Fia Riftborne thought joining the Sidhe Guard was the hardest choice she’d ever make.

She was wrong.

Taken prisoner by the very shadows she was sworn to fight, Fia uncovers a devastating truth. The wraiths who brought destruction to the Isle’s western border aren’t monsters at all, but a race of people from a dying realm called the Kálfar, and they believe Fia’s growing powers are tied to their survival.

As war looms on two fronts, Fia must navigate a world of shadow magic and political upheaval. A disgraced Kálfar lord builds an army in the south while tensions within Sídhe reach a breaking point. And the Void that gave Fia her power is calling—but answering it means betraying everyone she left behind.

The Guard. Her friends. Laryk.

In a war where nothing is as it seems, choosing the wrong side could cost her everything, including the brooding commander whose darkness seems to recognize her own.

My Thoughts on Duskbound

This book defintely had a glow up from book 1, Riftborne where it was a little underwhelming. If you DNF’d book 1, I beg you to reconsider and give it a second try, because Duskbound is worth it. You just need to get past book 1.

Duskbound consumed me my entire plane ride to Vegas (from Florida) and into the night. I couldn’t put it down.

The world building that developed in book 1 was expanded upon, more deep diving into the political issues, the character growth was superb, the slow burn romance and reluctant fated mates were perfection, plus finding the truth about her past and family.

I could not get enough of Aether. He easily needs to be added to your book boyfriend list. Their relationship, chef’s kiss.

This book also ends on a cliffhanger and another plot twist. Many tears were shed while reading this book, but I was not as emotionally damaged as the first though. I need book 3 ASAP.
