Lush, dark, lovely, and magical! Bring Me Your Midnight is a tale of duty versus desire and what it means when the foundation you stand on starts to shake.
I had a great time with this story. I loved Tana and Wolfe and how they truly were enemies in their opposing beliefs and how they came to understand each other and create something new.
I think that the thing that the witches' power was tied to was pretty weak and opened up a lot of questions for me. Like if it just took that item to create magic, wouldn't it stand to reason that anyone who possessed it would be capable of magic? Why keep the item at all if the new order was created to protect the coven and keep the mainlanders satisfied? They could have just stopped practicing magic if their safety was so important to them? Why debase your people by performing parlor tricks for humans?
I thought the chapter from Wolfe's perspective was such a treat and would have appreciated more of his perspective, but I think the single POV was essential to the plot, so I understand why only one POV was used.
Despite my criticism of the magic system's foundations, I still had an incredibly lovely time and finished this in just a few sittings.
