Born of Night (A League Novel)

I've heard this book and this author hyped so much that I think I went in with my expectations too high. I think part of the problem is that this is an older book now and I'm used to more recent books who have moved away from the cliches used here.

The story and the world are so interesting. I didn't realize it was a space and alien novel until I started, so that was a nice surprise. I really liked the writing and the world-building.

If you start out your female character as an awesome fighter, then you should try carrying that through. Kiara's character seemed to change as soon as she met Nykyrian, from a potential badass to damsel in distress. She honestly is the main reason I almost DNF this book. She kept poking her nose into their past, in ways that anyone would see as disrespectful.

I was with Syn in totally disliking her. I will read the next book because it is about Syn and a female bounty hunter... so it should be better? Maybe?
