Book: The Light Within (Twisted Thorn) by Ang T. Dalton
Reviewed by kizziisreads
Rating: 5/5
Ang T. Dalton has a way with connecting the reader to the characters of her stories.
The Light Within is the final book in the trilogy, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book. I swear, there were moments I doubted myself, and moments where I cried with the characters because I could feel their pain.
It's the perfect end to a series. I knew certain things would need to happen. Doesn't mean that I didn't cry or freak out when they did. I just felt it all. Scar & Fallon have to be two of my favorite FMCs in existence. I love their duality, I love their differences, I love how they compliment each other. Where one lacks, the other prevails; and vice versa. They are some of the strongest, most defined characters I have read. They both have immense amounts of character development, and that's something that is so important to me in a story.
Her world building, is INSANE. Like, I felt that I was there and could see everything. It felt like I knew the world as well as the characters did. The idea of the Forgotten Realm being a mirror to their world was so cool.
And the twist at the end, that really got me. I never expected that. Although, the end nearly killed me. I swear my heart stopped like three times while I was reading. This book was so hard to put down. The two days I spent not being able to read it were miserable. I just wanted to pick it up and ignore all my real life duties. I have such high praise for this series, and fully believe that if you have not picked up the first two, then you absolutely should.
