“Whatever our place is to be in the world, it must be a place we can claim with honesty, not one we slip into on the basis of a lie.”
-Marie Brennan, Turning Darkness Into Light.
Set a generation after the events of the Memoirs Lady Trent series, Marie Brennan returns to the world in a wonderful fashion. A cashes ancient tablets is discovered with the language of the ancient Draconean civilization, a civilization who vanished without explanation. Audrey Camherst, the granddaughter of Lady Trent, is hired by the tablets founder to decipher the Ancient language. With each tablet translated the origin of life itself is revealed and the truth of the Draconean civilization comes to light.
Though it does not have any dragons, nor does it have incredible travels, this new entry nonetheless thrilled me. Marie Brennan brilliant weaves together a incredible epilogue to her original series.
Marie Brennan’s writing and character work is still amazing. With each new discovery and dramatic event the end result was beyond satisfying.
Turning Darkness Into Light is a funny, clever , and mind blowing addition to the Memoirs of Lady Trent series.
Marie Brennan's world building finally comes to a very unexpected close, making me want to reread the series all over again and re-experience the it with the newfound knowledge.
Bringing Darkness Into Light, as well as its predecessors, is a brilliant combination of Alternate History, Epic Fantasy, natural and archeological history, and drama. Also there are plentiful of dragons and representation.
I can never recommend The Memoirs of Lady Trent Series & Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan enough.
Review for the Audiobook:
Barrie Kreinik, a different voice actress than Kate Reading who voice acted the original series, and Raphael Corkhill did a incredible job narrating this novel. Their voices perfectly captured the new and long beloved characters, Marie Brennan’s wonderfully writing, and the very world itself.
