Solomon PhD! Amanuel Woldemichael Asfeha! That statement still stands. The author changed some things, but most things stayed the same. When I beta-read this book last year, I told the author what I didn't like I was very honest , and while I understand why the author wouldn't want to change things, it's too bad, because my sour opinion still stands.
Would I Recommend It: No. Sorry, but no. If you haven't read Midnight Thief, don't worry about it. This series is meh, okay at best. This conclusion should have been so much more epic and so much less bleh. But I walked away with a feeling of "oh well" and "meh" and "whatever".
Not exactly encouraging. Rating: 2. I'm disappointed, because Midnight Thief was one of my favorite novels of Yes, three stars is still positive. But I was really hoping that, since I beta-read the book and didn't like it , that when I read it the second time, I would at least like it more? Not so much, unfortunately.
Still, it was an okay novel! View all 6 comments. Sep 30, Maja The Nocturnal Library rated it it was amazing Shelves: all-the-right-choices , surprise-surprise , role-models , young-adult , are-you-kidding-me , favorites , fantasy , arc I beta read this beauty and it's wonderul.
You'll just have to take my word for it for now. Jul 17, Tanja Tanychy rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy , arc-galleys. When Midnight Thief appeared two years ago I was blown away by it. The whole idea of the story was so good and with addition of Poison Dance a prequel this story promised me a really good ride. I did get that, and I'm happy to say that Daughter of Dusk is pushing it in the right way.
Even though it's been two years since I've read Midnight Thief it didn't take me long to get back into this story. Daughter of Dusk continues where the previous one left off. We're back with Kyra and her development. Not to spoil things for people who haven't read the first book, there were some unexpected if you ask me twists at the end of it and here we get to discover a new side of this world.
A new side of Kyra, but also other characters here. It adds to already complex world building which was what meed me fall in love with the first book.
Now with Demon Rider kin who as it turns out plays greater role than expected things are about to go down. For real! I wasn't surprised that I got back into the story so quick as Kyra is a character you'll easily love. She is all you ever wanted to be: smart, capable and with all that really human, meaning with some flaws that make her even more likeable.
And with Tristam who let's face it is a knight in shining armor it wasn't hard to cheer for them. Not to forget James, who for me is one of those amazing villains or so it seemed. Even though, it seemed like this would be a great series sadly it ended to soon. I don't really know why this turned out to be a duology as in my opinion there is so much to be said about this. I wish there was more to it. But who knows, maybe someday. Nov 03, Erin Arkin rated it it was amazing Shelves: i-have-a-real-book , series , real-book-challenge , flights-of-fantasy-challenge.
As soon as I saw the galley of book two, Daughter of Dusk, I had to request it. Kyra is in a bit of an odd spot. She knows more about 4. Because of her ability to hunt and climb, she is an invaluable resource to the group but not everyone thinks she belongs. She is still looked at as a thief and a gutter rat by the group and it makes things tough for her. Trying to keep a balance as well as not give away her secret is taking its toll on Kyra.
The Demon Riders are continuing to raid villages which is also creating a lot of fear amongst the Council and as a result, the head councilman, Willem, is using that to his advantage. In his bid to get rid of Malikel and eventually take over leadership of Forge, he is using the Demon Rider attacks to institute some changes. The first thing is conscription which has direct impact on Kyra because one of the first people pulled into the training is Flick.
Things definitely move quickly in this book and there are a lot of things all tying back to Kyra that create so many conflicts. Not only is there the threat of Willem and the Demon Riders, but there is also the continued conflict between the wallhuggers and the rest of Forge that impacts Kyra when Idalee is beaten.
Kyra already has a fear of what she is but when things happen that put her on the edge, she lets go and does something that puts her in danger and reveals her secret. Along with all of that going on, Kyra also has to figure out what her relationship with Tristam really is. Despite the fact that he was demoted, he still has a family that he has to answer to and when the Demon Rider attacks force Tristam to consider something he never really thought would be an issue, he and Kyra have to face the reality of their situation.
He is from a royal family and she is still a gutter rat. As characters go, Kyra is still one of my favorites. She is tough and smart but she is also fiercely loyal. She will do anything to protect the people she cares about and she stands up for the things she believes in. I loved seeing Kyra recognize as the story moved along, just what he meant and his intent behind his actions.
Of course, Flick, Idalee, and Lettie are great as secondary characters. In addition to them, we learn more about the Makvani and where Kyra comes from. Since he was turned over to the palace by Kyra, he is locked up and the only times we get to see him is when Kyra breaks into his prison cell to talk. These interactions were interesting and revealed a lot, not only about James but also about Kyra and I thought the way things were wrapped up with these two said a lot about them as characters.
Overall, this was a wonderful conclusion to this series. It has a great mix of action, magic, deception, and of course there are some swoony bits. Thank you to NetGalley and Disney for the review copy!
View 1 comment. May 12, Frannie Pan rated it it was ok Shelves: z , arcs. Granted, I wasn't in love head over hills with Midnight Thief but I had still enjoyed it very much and had bought the hardcover and was looking forward to the 2nd book. But Daughter of Dusk wasn't the fireworks I wanted to see, it was barely a bunch of cinders. Obviously I won't go into details, being this the last book in the series, but I will say the whole book was a building up towards a resolution that wore down in less than twenty pages.
One moment they were getting ready for going to war, the next everything was said and done and here's the epilogue. What even. Besides, the ploy that solved all their and Forge's problems was completely unbelievable.
It happened way too fast and way too easily and hey, if it were that easy, why didn't you do it sooner instead of waiting so long?! It probably wasn't as bad as I'm making it sound like, but it was a step down from Midnight Thief and the conclusion left me disappointed and with an unpleasant bittersweet taste in my mouth.
Jul 20, nick the infinite limits of love rated it liked it Shelves: arc. I expected just a little bit more from this conclusion in the plot department. But I still really liked the characters and the relationships. Overall, this is a duology I recommend. Loveable main character Midnight Thief and Daughter of Dusk have some very endearing characters. The protagonist, Kyra, especially was a character I loved from the very start.
She wa I expected just a little bit more from this conclusion in the plot department. She was feisty, fearless, but also had vulnerable sides to her. Perhaps the best part about her character though how she was not this perfect fantasy heroine who got everything right. She actually made mistakes which was so much realistic to me than having this perfect badass character who is able to face any obstacle without ever falling into traps.
She often found herself regretting some of her decisions and I liked that a lot. Besides that, Kyra was also kind-hearted and cared for others, especially street children known as the "gutter kids". She looked out for them and her bond with two young girls, Lettie and Idalee, was sweet and lovely to experience. There's nothing more I enjoy in books other than strong female relationships. James- good or bad? In Midnight Thief, Kyra was hired by a mysterious leader of the Assassin's guild. Completely enigmatic, James was such an interesting character from start to finish of the series.
While we get snippets of why he was the way he was, we never really got a complete grasp of his character, which I think worked really well in this case because he wound up being so memorable for me.
He also straddled the line between good and evil and you never really knew what his intentions were when it came to his guild's goals. It was an interesting experience trying to figure out who he really was and I liked that even by the end he was still this huge question mark. I think it made for an intriguing character for sure.
Complex and twisty politics and world building With a fantasy world full of assassins, thieves, knights, corrupt powerhouses and Demon riders, there was no doubt that the world building in both Midnight Thief and Daughter of Dusk was exciting in every way. It was rich, solid and very well-developed, which is all I look for when it comes to fantasy world building. There were also lots of themes of poverty and corrupt politics that I really enjoyed reading about, especially because they could be reiterated into the real world.
Livia Blackburne did a fantastic job at crafting her world from the bottom, making sure to explain every nook and crook that existed. I know some people shy away from fantasy books because the world building tends to be complicated, but this isn't one of those books where you can't figure out the world. It's well-written and easy to understand. It was definitely a highlight of the duology for me. Realistic relationships Kyra forged many relationships in this book and they were all pretty memorable for me.
Her relationship with Flick was I one that I particularly appreciated. Theirs was a relationship that never swayed from friendship. I love that the author decided to show this platonic relationship between a boy and a girl, that never once moved into romantic territory.
The romance in this duology was between Kyra and Tristam, a Knight. I can't say that the romance was a huge part of this series - it was more of something that developed in the background. I liked the slow pace however, and enjoyed the sweet moments between the two of them as they got closer to one another.
Minor Quibbles 5. Same old fantasy plot I did wish that the plot in both Midnight Thief and Daughter of Dusk went beyond the "try to take down the corrupt leader" storyline. Livia Blackburne wrote in an entertaining way that still made the book stand out despite the plot being rather cliched, but I also feel like she could have gone a bit beyond that and explored a different area to make this unique.
Loose ends in conclusion While the conclusion to the Midnight Thief series was pretty solid and I was for the most part satisfied with it, there were some things I wish the author had delved more into, such as Kyra's relationship with her new-found father and her past with her mother was something I would have liked to have learned more about. Despite that though, I thought the ending was good.
Overall Thoughts I enjoyed binge-reading this series back to back. I preferred Midnight Thief a bit more than Daughter of Dusk because I thought the plot was a little tighter in that one, but I enjoyed watching everything come together in the last book.
This is certainly a series that I think is worth reading because the characters, world building and the different relationships between the characters were all phenomenal. I look forward to reading more from Livia Blackburne.
Jan 10, Adele rated it it was amazing Shelves: favourites , young-adult , reviewed , fantasy , shifters. It does, just in smaller portions, and when the reader needs to be re-informed about it. I honestly really love Daughter of Dusk. So much happens.
What had happened was such a surprise to me, and it totally blew my mind! I have to say that, Kyra; the main character, definitely has some new difficult stuff happen to her. There are difficutlies that she has to over come, and she does.
She learns and takes everything in stride even if some of the things she learns is a huge shocker to her. I mean, some of the stuff that happened even shocked me. Well, these instances made me angry because a lot of the characters were treated like shit by one of the antagonists in this story. Which again, just really pisses me off because no one deserves to be treated that way.
Nonetheless though, there is a lot that happens in this book! I think I actually read and finished this book in a day. Daughter of Dusk had me sqealing, and yelling out profanities.
Thankfully, only my mom was home, so no one one besides her actually witnessed me fangirling. While reading Daughter of Dusk, we see so much happen to Kyra and her friends. We see Kyra grow into the person she is at the end of the book. We see Kyra thrive in her environments, and we see Kyra accept the things that life has thrown her way. I like that in the ending of the book, not everything is resolved. There are still quite a few things that are left unanswered.
I find with the ending being that way, it leaves me really happy. That maybe in a few years down the road, the author will pick up this story again and add on to it. And because I read this book in a day, I pretty much devoured the story. The ending to this duology actually has me so happy! I want to squeal every time I think about it.

Full review to come! Apr 13, Luke. Norman added it. It was a really good book and I would recommend it to people who distompian books. Oct 08, Kristen rated it liked it Shelves: releases , arc-or-galley , disney-hyperion , requested. I chose not to reread the first book so it did take me some time to remember the characters and exactly where the last story left off. I felt that the pacing was a bit slower in this novel though I did enjoy what I was reading. It felt like it took a little long for the action to kick in.
Kyra still struggled in this novel to come to terms with her dual nature and I found her difficulty in accepting herself to be one of the more interesting parts in the book. I was a tad irritated that a good amount of the relationship side focused on the two with-holding information and not speaking plainly to one another. I know this happens in life but it is so frustrating to read about for me.
I wanted to knock each of them on their heads and get them to speak. Perhaps because of this friction between the two characters I felt little to no chemistry between them.
I remember liking them as a couple in the prior novel. I will say there was no love triangle if that was something you worried about. In the first book and the prequel we got to know James fairly well.
He was one of my favorite characters because I loved that he was such a grey character. We are given the opportunity to get a better feel for the Makvani and get more detail about their society. The same characters are present through this novel though we do get introduced to a few new people. I found this to be moderately interesting but overall it made for a bit of a slower read for me.
It never flowed for me and sort of pulled me from the story. Final Thoughts: I really looked forward to Daughter of Dusk and overall I found it an entertaining read. I loved book 1 of this and eagerly awaiting this installment, so I was more than delighted to dive right in when I got it. Well, can I say that this is even better than the first!
I found that Kyra grew so much during this one. She was always competent and capable but she is so much more here. She really grew up and has taken responsibility for who she is.
She still struggles with the other side of her but at least she is trying to find out more about it and her family. She is still treated as a I loved book 1 of this and eagerly awaiting this installment, so I was more than delighted to dive right in when I got it.
She is still treated as an outsider by the palace people and the Demon Riders but her friends are her rock. There is only 3 people inside the palace that know about her, though one only suspects, but all hell is about to break loose and Kyras' loyalty is tested. Tristam is as awesome as ever! He knows Kyras secret and while he struggles to accept it, he knows that Kyra is, and always will be, Kyra, no matter what she may be.
Both of them know that Tristam is from a high ranking family, so a relationship isn't possible, but it doesn't stop either of them from dreaming. But when Tristam is told that his match has been made, poor Kyra finally realises the truth of their situation. My heart broke for both of them because they obviously love each other, but their relationship isn't to be! The plot was really fast paced. Right from the start you are swept up into the story and carried away. Their is so much happening on every page that sometimes I just had to stop reading to absorb everything.
We have the Demon Riders raids happening more often, the place intend on stopping them even if it means war, Tristam having to meet the woman he is going to marry, Idalee is beaten to within an inch of life and Kyra tries to get justice, Kyra is also trying to deal with the Demon Rider side of everything and being a go between the two groups, plus she is learning about her family and heritage!
So as you can see, a lot happening between the pages! Overall this was an action packed and engaging read. While I'm sad to see this as a duology and had hoped from more, it's still a world that I won't easily forget.
I loved everything about it and will definitely keep my eye on this author in future. Maybe we haven't seen the last of Kyra and Tristam, well, one can only hope ; Jan 17, Dark Faerie Tales rated it really liked it Shelves: reviewed-by-bridget.
