A review by ashliesydel
The Darkest King by Gena Showalter
4.0
I read the novella Darkest Assassin before reading this because that's the order that is suggested on Gina's website. In said novella (which I absolutely loved) we get a sneak peek at William and Sunny.
BASED on that small tidbit I had already decided I was going to HATE Sunny and was really reluctant about reading William's story. I thought she was annoying af and had no interest in leaning more about her. Add in the reviews saying that William deserved better and I was convinced that Gina had smoked payote and ruined a much anticipated story.
I am happy to report that I was wrong. I actually really really love Sunny. She has a duel personality so there will be moments where I could totes relate and others where I was like WOW she is just as messed up as William. But in a good way.
I think they fit good together. I appreciated how much emphasis on family this story had. Especially seeing William be so open and raw after reading Gillian's book. I got nervous towards the end because I feel like Gina could END the series with this story. BUT I know that there is a Novella coming out in December and so many other characters who need their stories told. So hopefully I was just a little paranoid with how some circumstances where wrapped up.
