Defend the Dawn by Brigid Kemmerer
5.0

”When I pick a fight, you’ll know it.”

Ahh! I was so excited for this book to come out! I read Defy the Night last year, by just randomly downloading a book to my brand new (at the time) ereader, only to fall in love with it and find out it had just come out and i’d have to wait forever for a sequel, but forever has finally come!

I was wondering if the romance would still be interesting, because sometimes when a relationship is already established in the first book, it gets really boring and repetitive. Thankfully it kept me super interested still, and there was plenty of angst, which I love!

I loved that the book was mostly set on a ship, I love a bit of a deep sea/pirate vibe and it was really giving that. The plot twists/reveals for the most part took me by surprise, but made a lot of sense. However, they also kept me needing more information, and not all of my questions were answered. This book definitely felt like mostly set up to the next book, considering not a lot was resolved.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book as a sequel, and I’m excited for where this series goes from here!
