A Book in Review: Dreamdark: Blackbringer

Dreamdark: Blackbringer By: Laini Taylor
Fiction YA, Fantasy 437 pages
Book Count:73

This book is the type that starts right in the action. As it also takes place in a world much different then ours it takes a little time to get caught up. That being said by 100 pages into the book I was wondering if it was too late to put the second book on my Christmas list. This book is the story of Magpie Windwitch, a fairy unlike any other. First, her grandfather is the West Wind and because of that she likes to wander the world, while most fairies never leave the area that they were born in. Also, she can do complex magic on accident. She hunts down devils. And there are more things that she learns about herself and her place in the world as she goes threw the book. In this story she is hunting down a being called Blackbringer who is unlike any other thing that she had ever hunted. Also, the last time he was caught it was by a group of the greatest warriors in fairy history, from back when fairies knew more magic. She is the only one she knows that will fight them. And the Blackbringer was sealed in his jar by the Djinn King one of the creators of this world who hasn't been seen in thousands of years. So, she will need to find him too.
