Midnight Thief Book 2 Daughter of Dusk Livia Blackburne Books

** spoiler alert ** If you look at my review of the first book in this series, Midnight Thief, you will see that I love the plot, writing style, and characters.

James, even though locked up, was great. I like to think he represented the little voice in Kyra's head that told her the truth about working for the palace. The warnings and cautions that she felt but needed someone to tell her to her face for her to listen to that voice inside. It didn't matter that he was just manipulating her, what he said was true. His intentions didn't matter. He spoke truths to Kyra that she didn't want to hear, but needed to. People may think that he should have been removed from this book, that they should have been rid of him now that he was arrested, but I think he was one of the most _important_ characters to the story. Kyra needed to face things to be able to come to that spot in herself where she is ready to risk everything to save her true people, the Makvani. His scenes paired perfectly with her slowly finding out about her past and becoming close to Pashla. I don't think she would have been able to try to help her people if she hadn't been meeting with James.

Pashla is a wonderful character. I love how she becomes sort of a Hanai sister/mentor to Kyra. As Kyra grew up with no real family, just people who accepted her and became the closest thing she had for a family, it was nice to see Kyra find someone who not only had the same blood running through her veins, but truly understood the changes Kyra was going through. Her human 'family' may love Kyra, but Pashla was a whole other level of family. Her humans cared about her, but she needed and found someone who had been through the changes and experienced the emotions and thoughts than went with the Makvani changes.

Flick, Idalee, and Lettie are good side characters to have, but I don't think of them as important. I mean, I think its good for Kyra to have them, but they aren't as essential to the story as some of the other characters. However, there are some events that involve them that _are_ essential. For instance, the beating of Idalee led to Kyra seeking out James. And to her finally opening up her eyes to the social differences between the wallhuggers and the rest of the city. She realizes that she wants to changes the injustices happening around her, but doesn't know how. Flick is the voice of reason, but Kyra doesn't seem to value his opinion or thoughts very much, even though she cares for him.

I like that Kyra starts to develop trust between her and Malikel. She realizes that he isn't a typical wall wallhugger. He used to be a mercenary, and was low of birth, unlike the others on the council. She debates in her head whether or not she can trust him with her secret, and thinks that telling him is important to develop some sort of peace between the humans and Makvani.

Kyra goes through quite the personal journey in this book. Seeking out answers about her mysterious past, and feels the pull more and more of her Makvani side. She needs to learn more about both. She isn't as idealistic as she was in Book 1. She sees the world as it is. Or at least, she does a bit in. I think that before, it wasn't that she was just dim about the world. I think she didn't _want_ to see the reality of the way of the world. But several things force her to open up her eyes and admit to herself at least how things truly are.

I'm not going to get into the romance drama with Kyra and Tristam. If you want to know about it, read the book. That wasn't my favorite part of the book. In my opinion, the book would be just as good, if not better if that arc was removed.

Loved this book. Five stars. I dare you to read it.

Midnight Thief Book 2 Daughter of Dusk Livia Blackburne Books Reviews

3.5 stars. I liked the main characters. Story was ok.
I absolutley loved Midnight theif, and was very excited to read the sequel. This new book answers all of my previous questions, and creates many more. the new plot is riveting, and aft ttmes I questioned how it would end. if you enjoyed the Midnight theif even a little, read this book now.
Daughter of Dusk did not disappoint me. Like book one ,Midnight Thief, it was a page Turner and couldn't wait to find out the future fate of Kyra and Tristan. Livia Blackburne is a very talented writer and will look forward to her future books.
Great sequel. I loved the audible narration, but found myself switching to the kindle version when I couldn't listen because the story kept calling me. Great character arcs all around, and the darkness has sprinkles of hope. I found the ending very satisfying.
I thought Midnight Thief was good; nice characters who face interesting challenges. But I found myself a bit annoyed by Kyra's wishy-washy-ness, or more accurately, that she seemed to make drastic changes in allegiances, etc. without as much insight into her mindset and rationale as I would like.

I liked this sequel a lot more. While there are some predictable plot elements, there are enough twists to keep it interesting, and everything felt authentic and plausible. I like books where personal growth is at a higher premium than long fight scenes, and where the challenges and action are between individuals that we get to know, instead of epic scenes with nameless hordes, and this book fits the bill.
Loved this sequel just as much as the first book, A Midnight Thief. So glad I could read one right after another instead of having to wait a year between each book. Original story, if not completely original theme, poor orphan raised in the streets. Likable characters, somewhat predictable, but very enjoyable. My 16 year old daughter enjoyed it as well.
This series holds a special place in my heart. I went into this book having read and loved the first one with high hopes and I was not disappointed. The story zips along at a wonderful pace. The chapters have that really addictive habit of finishing on a cliffhanger, so you find yourself forced into the next chapter in order to discover what happens.

If you love young adult fantasy, please oh please pick this series up in beautiful hardcover. You won't regret it.
