Though the two series have many elements in common: A feisty, fish-out-of-water heroine forced to learn to survive in a world she’s not used to a gruff, emotionally stoic prince who likes to get his own way and a fast-paced narrative that deftly switches between perspectives in a way that actually adds something to the story, Defend the Dawn is perhaps Kemmerer’s most introspective book yet, allowing readers a chance to really get inside the heads of her characters and go deep into their often churning, conflicting viewpoints. Just typing all that out makes me tired, so your guess is as good as mine about how she’s accomplishing churning out all these words. Fresh off the launch of Forging Silver Into Stars the first installment in a new spinoff series set in her megapopular Cursebreakers universe earlier this year, she’s also launching the second book in her Defy the Night trilogy, her other big sweeping high fantasy adventure saga this Fall. Author Brigid Kemmerer is unstoppable this year.
