Down Comes the Night: A Book Review


This book is an interesting conglomerate of YA, magic, romance, and gothic elements. Wren, the main character, has lots of rooms to grow through this book: she's a magic healer who craves the approval and love of her commander and the queen. But her loyalties are challenged when she takes a job at a gothic, creepy mansion under a mysterious man named Lowry. I liked the mystery aspect of this book and the gothic elements. But I didn't connect to the characters very much, and the romance seemed a little too fabricated to serve the plot. But this book has a great spooky atmosphere that was fun to read in October. 

Writing Aesthetic/Style: 4
Plot/Movement: 3
Character Development: 3
Overall: 3
