szmoon 's review for:

The Darkness Within Us by Tricia Levenseller
4.0

This second book is still unlikely to be a reread for me, but I enjoyed it far more than the first in the series. I'm guessing this is mostly due to the FMC being an overall nicer person than her sister from book 1 (or maybe just more relatable to me because she wasn't obsessed with power, rude to servants, etc). It was sometimes difficult to keep reading through the FMC's issues because they were largely caused by sexism and therefore a bit too relatable, but I also wouldn't take points away from the author for her decision to tackle unsavory subject matter like that.
