Interpretation As Books Now I Rise (The Conqueror's Saga #2)
Lada Dracul has no allies. No throne. All she has is what she’s always had: herself. After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish anyone who dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot rage, she storms the countryside with her men, accompanied by her childhood friend Bogdan, terrorizing the land. But brute force isn’t getting Lada what she wants. And thinking of Mehmed brings little comfort to her thorny heart. There’s no time to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her. She left him before he could leave her. What Lada needs is her younger brother Radu’s subtlety and skill. But Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople—and it’s no diplomatic mission. Mehmed wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind enemy lines. Radu longs for his sister’s fierce confidence—but for the first time in his life, he rejects her unexpected plea for help. Torn between loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows he owes Lada nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself—but if he fails in Constantinople, will Mehmed ever forgive him? As nations fall around them, the Dracul siblings must decide: what will they sacrifice to fulfill their destinies? Empires will topple, thrones will be won . . . and souls will be lost.

reading this book felt like a tedious chore.literally nothing happens in this book and 1.5 stars only for Cyprian, Radu, Nazira and Fatima. everything and everyone else can choke.-------I'm expecting this to be wayyyyy more better than AID and if it's not I'm going to fight this book and beat it UP. Buddy read with a hard mango.
"They are soldiers. They depend upon routine, and anything out of the ordinary will give them pause. And they are men. They hate to be insulted, but they love to hear others mocked. And they are fools, because they cannot imagine that a woman alone in the woods would be a threat." That was AWESOME. I guess it's my "western" ignorance that keeps me thinking of this series as fantasy. It feels, to me at least, like fantasy. And yet, both And I Darken and Now I Rise are brutal, dark, fictional
if you had told me 10 years ago, when i was bored out of my mind in world history class, that i will voluntarily read a series about the ottoman empire and the siege of constantinople (not to mention i would also enjoy myself throughout), i would have said youre crazy. and yet, here i am. lol.the pacing/layout of this series is so organised and straightforward - i love it! the first book is an intro to the characters and the ascension of mehmed, this one focuses on the siege of various kingdoms,
No one will be more brutal than me. No one will be more ruthless. And I will never stop fighting. And true to its word this book is more brutal, more ruthless, and stakes were never this high before. Reading And I Darken was not an easy experience for me, but Now I Rise doubles it in intensity and heartbreak. When you have to chose between people you love and right and wrong, things get very messy. Theres no white or black, everythings gray and painful. Once again Kiersten White immerses us
[tour guide voice] And to your right, you can see me, clearly still recovering from the jet lag of reading this book.You know when you stay up all night reading and the caffeine starts to wear off and suddenly youre lying face down on your bed like a dried clementine with zero sense of space or time? That was me. I'm still waiting for someone to mistake my eyebags for their backpack and carry me home.Honestly I wish you could like, carve your feelings into trees deep in the forest miles away
this is the gay masterpiece I deserved in the year of our lord 2017 and it is still a masterpiece in 2019And I Darken was a well-written and developed book, but I had mixed feelings on the romance and wanted a bit more in the character department. I did not expect either aspect to improve. I definitely did not expect White to fix BOTH of my issues with book one. It's not often a sequel can surpass my expectations so much, but this sequel is undeniably better than book one. Now I Rise both does
