For Darkness Shows the Stars
A futuristic retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion? The moment I heard about For Darkness Shows the Stars, I knew I’d need a copy for myself, and another blogger was gracious enough to loan me an ARC. Peterfreund’s latest novel showcases how gorgeous her writing can be and gave me a story I fell in love with.Everything about For Darkness Shows the Stars is magical, from the cover to the very last page. The world that Elliott lives in is imperfect, yet incredibly well built. Although it takes time to grasp what’s happening, it’s carefully thought out. The images in some scenes where so lovely that I wanted to jump between the pages of the book.Of course, the romance is one of the key elements of this book. You guys, it was so well done. There was the same combination of pain, yearning, and hope that I find whenever I read Persuasion.What more can I say? To me, For Darkness Shows the Stars is a magical book in so many ways. I highly recommended picking this one up if you haven’t already. Plus, 2013 is going to bring us Across A Star-Swept Sea, an amazing sounding sequel based off of The Scarlet Pimpernel. I cannot wait!
