Turning away from the sun means she must join the night-and an underground revolution she’s been taught to fear all her life.īeware the Night was an interesting read about a people fighting for their rights and a girl figuring out her place in the world. Her close friendship with Nico is Veda’s one saving grace in a cruel world where the division between her people and the ruling Dogio is as wide and winding as the canals that snake through their island.īut when Veda’s grandfather is chosen as the next sacrificial offering to keep the sun’s favor, Veda is forced to see the injustice of her world. Life as a Basso is one fraught with back-breaking work and imposing rules. But as a member of the Basso class, she never reaps those benefits. Seventeen-year-old Veda understands that keeping the sun content ensures plentiful crops, peace and harmony, and a thriving economy. On the island of Bellona, they worship the sun. I caught myself staying up late to devour Beware the Night & letting out a few audible gasps throughout.Hello everyone! Welcome to my stop on the blog tour of Beware the Night hosted by Xpresso Tours. For someone who doesn’t enjoy fantasy that much (it’s me, ya girl), I absolutely loved this. & as much as I keep rambling, I still feel like I’m not doing Beware the Night as much justice as it deserves.īeware the Night is a perfect dose of fantastic plot, a thrilling adventure & some romance that will make you scream: KISS THE GIRL, ALREADY.

Beware the Night is a definite must-read & I’m truly jealous of anyone who gets to experience this fantasy adventure for the first time. I can go on & on as to the many beautiful things in Beware the Night & all of the reasons as to why this book is definitely one of my favorites of 2019, but #spoilers. Plus, there’s a scene that you will have you wanting to drown your feelings in strawberry shortcake (– which I totally did), but listen, if I had to suffer - so do you. Our main character finds herself in so many dangerous predicaments, it’ll leave you on the edge of your seat (or bed - if you’re a comfort reader, like me). Veda’s life ends up being so topsy-turvy & filled with so many lies & deceit, you’ll start questioning who you can actually trust on page (& in real life, let’s be honest). Sheesh, and if that wasn’t enough - let’s talk about the action, shall we? So much tense, so much stress, so much good. Whereas, Veda & Dorian feels more like the safer and softer relationship. Veda & Nico’s relationship has similarities to Romeo & Juliet, as they’re two kids who stay on complete opposite sides of the social class wall. There’s also a love triangle aspect to the situation, but as with many other books, this did not deter me away at all. Right off the bat, I had an inkling as to who Veda, Nico & Dorian all are & found myself attached to all three characters. Jessika Fleck does such an amazing job at characterization, relationship development, etc. I swear, I will not turn this review into a thesis - but!! It’s such an important concept to the story. In Beware the Night, we witness the injustice against the Basso, due to their lack of wealth. So for me to even be reminded of the Suzanne Collins’ book while reading Beware the Night is such high praise.
#BEWARE THE NIGHT BOOK SERIES#
Random fact: I think the first entry of The Hunger Games series is one of the best pieces of literature I’ve ever read, don’t me. Beware the Night reminded me so strongly of this paper & The Hunger Games, in general. Y’all, I wrote an entire paper for a class on The Hunger Games & how there are so many callbacks to reality. I’ve always been a sucker for this concept of THE RICH VS. It’s in these opening pages that I just knew I’d become way too emotionally invested in this story. Right away, Beware the Night starts off with a bang & a flash of what’s to come. Yet, Beware the Night had me wishing that it would never end - especially as I neared the final pages & came to the realization that there would be a cliff-hanger. It’s rare for me to finish a book & feel a sense of sorrow, because there are no more pages left to turn.
