After having fallen in love with Nightrender in the first book, I couldn't get my hands on the second quick enough. A special thanks to the publisher and Jodi Meadows for an eARC of Dawnbreaker.

I will admit the story started off a bit slow for me. With the way the first book ended, I expected to be pulled in a little bit faster. That being said, I did like seeing the more political side of things as Hanne struggled to maintain control while Rune was missing. (Despite the fact that I have loathed her from the very beginning, I enjoyed seeing the way her mind worked and how she handled certain situations.)

Once the action did pick up, I couldn't set the book down. Rune and Nightrender's relationship is an admirable one. I love how they balance each other out, the slow burn between them, and their friendship! I ate it up.

Lord the twist of who/what the voice ended up being in Hanne's head. That was a big turning point that had me in a chokehold.

Meadows is very descriptive with her writing and I could see everything playing out in my head. The character growth for all of our main's was brilliantly done. Their story was concluded wonderfully, though I wish we had a bit more.

I will def be rereading this duology down the road.
