Defend the Dawn
by Brigid Kemmerer
ARC review of Defend the Dawn by Brigid Kemmerer. Thank you to NetGalley!
This is the second book which picks up right where it left off at the end of Defy the Night.
Defend the Dawn, unlike Defy the Night, was extremely fast paced and starts with a mysterious spy coming to Kandalas shores.
The story follows Tessa and Corrick who span the world via ship to try and obtain a trade agreement for more Moonflower to help with the fever.
We get to meet a rowdy crew of sailors who are their own found family and getting a glimpse into their lives and separate stories was great to help build the world and history.
We have also gained an extra POV from ‘The Outlaw’ who, let me tell you, is not who you think it is! That’s all I’ll say in that.
Tessa continues to be this strong, smart apothecary we love and Corrick is someone I love to hate and hate to love. The tension between Corrick, Rian and Tessa felt really authentic. There was many scenes I was gasping and laughing in the same breath.
This book is jam packed with surprises and twists. I honestly didn’t know how this was going to end however we’ve got a nice little cliff hanger which had me wanting to throw my iPad!
All in all we had betrayal, pirates, battles, politics, one bed and a love triangle. Great world building and an extensive knowledge of a ship (I had to Google what a bilge pump was!)
Entertainment:
