IT'S FINE @KIERSTENWHITE 😡 COMPLETELY CAPTURE MY HEART THEN SET IT ON FIRE, STOMP ON IT, CACKLE EVILLY AND REPEAT 😭 The audacity of some authors 😆 seriously though it's taken so long for me to post these reviews because I've been grieving certain events in this book that left me emotionally devastated. 💔 When I finished Bright We Burn I just sat on my couch numb hugging the book to my chest crying silently. No. I'm not exaggerating. I fell in love with Lada and Radu and the things they go through in this book are devastating 😩 it's such a beautiful, bittersweet book that to this day, a week after finishing, I'm still mourning 😢 Lada becomes almost omnipotent in this book and seems to be more than human in many ways. Until we are thrown several reminders that she is in fact only human 😭 I'm being so careful to not give spoilers but FUCK. I choke up, my chest aches and I get teary thinking about the things she endured. 😭 In contrast, I'm so overwhelmed with joy. There are certain events that are just so heartwarming and surprising and lovely that as equally as your soul is broken you are given shreds of hope and love and humanity to hold onto ❤ Overall, huge kudos to Kiersten for ending the series the way she did. She has some serious temerity to end it the way she did but honestly there was no other way to end it and she executed it perfectly ❤ This is easily one of the most underrated series out there. THANKYOU to Kiersten White for writing this masterpiece and THANKYOU to @bellusoddities for being the reason I picked this series up in the first place 😘 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #nowirise #andidarken #brightweburn #conquererstrilogy #kierstenwhite #ladadracul #lada #darkfiction #historicalfiction #vladtheimpaler #feministfiction #books #bibliophile #bookreview #bookblogger #bookstagram #booknerd #bookaddict #bookishlove #bookgram #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookworm #bookwormlife #goodreads #welovebooks #readersofinstagram #cosplay #bookishcosplay #ladacosplay via @preview.app (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nwBB-AIyy/?igshid=1snr17s98clih
