into the darkness0 a shadow realm full of monsters, magic and wicked tides that

another nothing will be the same when she enters the Darkness.”
My
Rating: 3.5/5
This is the most recent instalment
of the Florence Waverly Series just released previously this year. I found this
story to be interesting, and when thinking back to the other Florence Waverly
volumes I realize how much the main character in this series has grown. Florence has gone from a
timid mouse of a human to someone who is willing to do anything for those she
cares about. This is proven time and time again throughout this novel.
Although, I must say that the details in this
book seemed to slip slightly and I found it difficult to picture some of the
things that were going on in this fantasy world.
Overall this series has been a
thrilling adventure filled with romance, emotion and imagination.
To create such a world in such a
short amount of time is impressive, and Ciye Cho should certainly have a
following of YA readers that enjoy a taste for adventure.
THANK YOU CIYE CHO FOR TAKING US
ON A GREAT ADVENTUE AND TESTING THE LIMITS!

Spoiler: Darkness by Ciye Cho
As mentioned above this is the
third instalment in the Florence Waverly Series that has just come out this
year. I was impressed by the self-published author Ciye Cho, as it must take a
lot to go solo on a series such as these. I was even more impressed with how he
created a world and a way of life through his words. His characters have grown
and changed and I couldn’t be happier with it. I do have a few questions, as
always, but all in all this was a good book.
♥Characters♥
♥Florence
Waverly: The main character of these stories has truly changed. She is
no longer timid and afraid to show who she is, in fact she shows who she is
proudly and steps into the role of hero in this third book. I was impressed by
the fact she walked into the Shadow Fyre. She did what had to be done to save
those she loved, although she knows it could change her forever. Although I
never found Florence
very relatable, although this could be because she is so wishie washie about
every decision she makes and I’m more the type of person who leaps in. All or
nothing.
♥Rolan:
He
has also changed. He is more willing to show himself for who he is as well as
able to confess his love for Florence
without thinking he is “stealing” her soul. In fact, it takes two to tango, and
Florence and
Rolan dance this dance quite well. I wish them all the best in the future
although I don’t think that all in Nimelia will be impressed with this changed
Florry.
♥Mara:
Mara
has also changed. Although she gives it her all, she isn’t afraid to care for
people around her (Wynn, Florence ,
Rolan). She fights truly till the end. Even though she finds out her father is
a traitor she carries on like a true warrior.
♥Wynn:
At
the beginning I was questioning Wynn’s loyalties, but I believe once again her
remains loyal to Florence
and Rolan.
♥Kiren:
Where
did you go again????
♥Malor:
I
don’t know if he’s crazy, or if his madness stems from the beginning of his
kind. Could it be possible that this is the colony Cornelius found? Did the
darkness that affected Cornelius’s body also affect his mind and affect the
leadership found here?
♥Moments
to Remember♥
♥Pg.
114
“‘You’re
holding me to tight,’ I whispered.
‘Maybe I’m
trying to make sure you don’t slip away.
‘I’m not
going anywhere.’”
♥Final
Line: “It’s not over…”
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Sidny xoxo
