A review by effy
Cruel is the Light by Sophie Clark

4.5

 
I had an absolutely amazing time reading this book. Clark effortlessly weaves together romance, fantasy, and intrigue where concepts of good and evil are explored and the question posed to the reader who the true demons are.

The pacing of this book is excellent, moving at a steady clip but never feeling as though it is giving the reader whiplash and plenty of time is given for the readers to enjoy the truly top tier banter between the characters. It is clear that a lot of attention to detail has been given to make all of the character fully-realised people and it becomes all too easy to forget that Jules and Selene aren’t actually battling demons right this moment.

This book really takes you on a journey and now I am immediately desperate to see where the conclusion of this duology takes us.

You just know this book is gonna be exploding on BookTok and Bookstagram when it releases next year so come join the cool kids and read it now!
