A Dark Champion by Kinley MacGregor

5.0

Rowena and Stryder. I absolutely loved these characters! The story was magnificent, with just enough mystery and espionage to make it addictive, and enough drama to keep a great pace. Simplistically put, a love story between two people who needed enough of each other to make them whole and understand their world.

Rowena, the troubadour female who hates war and knights and wants only peace and love, both in the world and in marriage. Stryder, who is a knight through and through. Two people who couldn't be any more opposite and yet they complete each other wonderfully, and are such an enjoying romance to read.

The sideline characters and stories were wonderful. Kit, the long lost brother to Stryder who really is the Saracen assassin targeted with killing his own brother- seemingly a bad guy, but in reality completely not. Damien, the mysterious royal entity thrown in the mix that creates a ton of suspicion among Hexan, the town. Swan, Christopher, Will, Zenobia, Nassir the brotherhood members. All a grand mix of characters that made the story as good as could be expected! Awesome!

Note- Sadly this review isn't to its full fledged potential since the reading took longer than expected with Christmas and some serious sickness.
