Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC!

I actually liked this, it was definitely my style. The writing is good, the story flows nicely and the characters are genuinely interesting, everything picking off from where it left in the first book of the duology.
I recommend it fo the fans of fantasy!

Another steller book by Robin LeFevers. I have loved this world since book one and am always wanting more.

I'm someone who has followed this series when it started back in 2012 (when the covers  featured ladies in dresses-- I still love them!) and has stood by them, I was absolutely thrilled to find that this series was continuing. The last installment was arguably one of my favorites, and this one picked up right where that one left off.

As always, LaFevers' setting and world building is incredibly unique, and so immersive. The characters, the magic, and the lore of this world shine off the page, and make this series stand out from anything else I've ever read. I wish this sampler had a couple hundred more pages to add, but I already know this is one I'll be reading and recommending as soon as it comes out!

I wasn’t aware this was a sampler, so I was left wanting more! With the beginning few chapters, this book picks up right where we left off with the first one, and shows so much promise. I am even more excited to read the rest of the book when it’s available - it’s clear that there’s going to be lots of action, and there are many plotlines that are coming together that excite me. The stakes are set! I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.

This is a sampler, which I didn't realize before I downloaded it. I wouldn't have requested it if I had known, but the few pages I read were very good. Excited to see how this series ends.

This little sampler was intriguing. I haven’t yet read the first book so some of the details were lost on me, however it was interesting enough to make me want to read more.

Set in the same universe as their His Fair Assassin series comes the second in the Courting Darkness duology. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the sampler! I couldn’t be more excited to finish this duology after reading these 11 chapters. The way LaFevers draws the reader in with their ability to write dynamic and exciting characters makes you desperate to keep turning the page! The plot is already intricate and intriguing and promises a stunning end to this already enthralling duology. 

Fans of LaFevers previous His Fair Assassin series prepared to be engrossed once again!

Thank you to NetGalley for the sampler excerpt of Igniting Darkness by Robin LaFevers. The engaging snippet was full of intrigue and suspense and I will have to get my hands on the full version (and the first in the series). I look forward to reading this!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an sampler of Igniting Darkness in exchange for an honest review of my initial thoughts about the book. 

This is the second book in a series. It dynamically picks up where the last book left off and a lot happens within the 11 chapters I was able to read! This looks like it will be an exciting and dramatic extensions to the story and I can't wait to find out what happens next for Sybella and Genevieve as I love the way LaFevers writes her characters. The cover is also absolutely stunning too and a must have for all bookshelves!

this sample is so good! I've read only a few lines i'm already addicted to the story, it looks like a fast and engaging read, and i adore the historical setting, history and fantasy are definitely my favorire genres so having both of them in a book? FANTASTIC. I can't wait to read the entire book

the first thing i can say about these few chapters is "captivating". I was so involved in the story after reading a few sentences, and that's probably the best thing reading a book, it makes me want to marathon it immediately.

This was only an 80 page excerpt, but it was enough to make me excited about how this wonderful duology will end!!!

**Thank you to Netgalley and HMH Books for Young Readers for an excerpt of this book for early review**

It's only 80 pages but I'm hooked! I've recently binged His Fair Assassin's and Courting Darkness and loved it! This sneak peak has made me so excited for the full release! I love these characters so much and love seeing the development over each book.

I was given a excerpt of this book through NetGalley and I fully intend to get my hands on the full version! The little snippet I read was full of intrigue and suspense and I have so many questions. I look forward to reading this!

I'm really excited to read the full version of this book! I loved the His Fair Assassin trilogy by Robin LaFevers, so I was happy to see a sequel duology announced! I like that it follows the same characters from the first trilogy while adding new characters to the mix. 

I will say that before I read the full version of this, I think I'm going to want to re-read the first book in the duology, as I forgot some major details that made some things in this sampler more confusing, but I did enjoy what was in the sampler. 

The file downloaded weirdly to my kindle, so some of the formatting was messed up. This made it a little more awkward to read but I definitely still enjoyed it. 

Looking forward to the full book, and I've pre-ordered it!

I did not realize that this was the final book in a series so I was kinda confused for most of it but it was a good sample. The writing was very cool how it had hints of old English. I also really liked how it switched perspectives so we got to hear lots of different sides of the story. Nice story and I'm excited to read the series.

This sampler has made me so excited for this book! Plus, the cover is absolutely gorgeous so I can't wait to see it on my shelf along with the first one!

First of all, Robin LaFevers could rewrite the phonebook and I'd still be like, "This is AMAZING."

Second of all, Igniting Darkness is about to be one of my favourite books of 2020. I can feel it. And, honestly, after the year we've had, it is absolutely what we deserve. If you are a follower of my blog, Tik Tok, Instagram or Goodreads you likely know that this series is an all time favourite of mine. To say that my hopes are high for Igniting Darkness would be an understatement, but this little sampler has reignited (ha) my excitement.

It has also made me want so much more. So, I'm here, anticipating, and making grabby hands at my computer screen. Which, to be honest, is a little awkward. 

Regardless, LaFevers writing is as fantastic and engrossing as ever. I look forward to read the finished product.

I didn't feel like the Sampler gave me enough to review. I liked what i READ, but i would've like to have read the whole thing. #netgalley #ignitingdarkness
