Review: And I Darken by Kiersten White

And I Darken
(Conqueror's Saga, #1)

No one expects a princess to be brutal. And Lada Dragwyla likes it that way.

Ever since she and her brother were abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman sultan’s courts, Lada has known that ruthlessness is the key to survival. For the lineage that makes her and her brother special also makes them targets.

Lada hones her skills as a warrior as she nurtures plans to wreak revenge on the empire that holds her captive. Then she and Radu meet the sultan’s son, Mehmed, and everything changes. Now Mehmed unwittingly stands between Lada and Radu as they transform from siblings to rivals, and the ties of love and loyalty that bind them together are stretched to breaking point.

The first of an epic new trilogy starring the ultimate anti-princess who does not have a gentle heart. Lada knows how to wield a sword, and she'll stop at nothing to keep herself and her brother alive.

It may have taken 2 years, but Kelly has finally decided to grant all of those requests, which means:

September 2016 Reads + Monthly Recap

Let's keep this short and sweet because it's actually already almost 5 in the morning as I am making this post. Well, anyway, there goes another month. It's already October! I like October. Hopefully this means I will have an even better month. September was a good one if I do say so myself :)

I read a total of 6 books not counting the two I started but wasn't able to finish before the month ended. And I only spent $4! See? I can so stick to a book buying ban.
