I found the plot moved at a good clip, and by the end, I was very invested in learning how everything would shake out. The story of Iskvien and Thiago is based on some familiar tropes, with some unique plot elements that added a new voice to a story being told by a handful of authors right now. As the plot progressed though, I found that the action increased so much that I noticed the lack of details a little less. Every fantasy element or creature you could imagine seemed to make an appearance, but it did take a little while for their contexts to shake out. I did enjoy the story as a whole, though there was a lot to it. The premise is a bit of a blend of some major fantasies that are currently popular (think Blood and Ash meets A Court of Thorns and Roses with a mix of other fantasy elements), so she wasn’t wrong in guessing it would be something I’d like. Promise of Darkness was gifted to me this holiday season by a wonderful friend who knows I have a love for fantasy romance novels.
