Defy The Night by Brigid Kemmerer ($17.09)
From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes a blockbuster fantasy series perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Aveyard, about a kingdom divided by corruption, the prince desperately holding it together, and the girl who will risk everything to bring it crashing down.
Apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade is tired of seeing her people die. King Harristan and his cruel brother, Prince Corrick, ignore the suffering of their people and react mercilessly to any sign of rebellion, even as a sickness ravages the land. That’s why she and her best friend Wes risk their lives each night to steal the petals of the delicate Moonflower, the only known cure. But it’s not enough to keep everyone she loves safe-or alive.
When Prince Corrick commits an act of unspeakable cruelty, Tessa becomes desperate enough to try the impossible: sneaking into the palace. But what she finds there makes her wonder if it’s even possible to fix their world without destroying it first.
Brigid Kemmerer’s captivating new series is about those with power and those without . . . and what happens when someone is brave enough to imagine a new future.
This young adult fantasy novel is inspired by Robin Hood. It takes place in the Kingdom of Kandala which is currently suffering because of a disease. It’s filled with political intrigue as well.
The story was written from the point of view of Prince Corrick and Tessa. This is actually a great idea because it helped me understand both of the characters. Defy The Night is the first book in a series and I’m already excited for the sequel!
I love this month’s YA book pick from Now in Books box! It was an entertaining read overall, with interesting characters and exciting twists that kept me wanting more. The sweet romance is really just a bonus. The book club guide is also a nice addition to the box. If you’re the type of bookworm who reads with music on, you’d probably love the playlist as well. Overall, the bookworm in me is happy with this subscription! The Books & Music box provides an immersive experience and I’m all for it!
