 Review: Last year, I got really late getting into This Savage Song, but I loved it so much; the book totally made it to my favorite list. I really was excited to read Our Dark Duet and I even preordered it. And let me tell you, I loved this book so much, I wasn't even a tad bit disappointed at what I got. It was so dark yet so heart wrenching. 
 "And what goes up, thought Sloan, can always be torn down." 
 Our Dark Duet takes place 6 months after This Savage Song in Verity and Prosperity. August in South Verity no longer wants to be human and he fulfills his duty to eliminate the sinners, from North Verity which is now ruled by Sloan, in the FTF. Kate is now in Prosperity, hanging out with a new group the Wanders, masking her true feeling of loneliness. But there's a new monster. Not Malchai, nor Corsai, nor Sunai, but something else. Kate feels the need to hunt this monster down, as it embedded a trace in her, all the way to Verity. 
 I said this before and I'll say it again, Victoria Schwab's writing is incredible. I loved how it pulled me in immediately within the first few pages. It's so crazy because I loved it so much and I wish I could have finished it in a day or two. I would also pick up her other books as well, since this duology is my favorite. 
 Let's talk about the plot. I loved how at first it started at a normal pace and then it revolved into something dark and intense. I enjoyed the plot overall, although I couldn't find that it's at its most original but I thought that something about it really was special. I loved how the setting still stayed similar in Prosperity, which is dark. I found the last 100 pages was damned devastating. It was heartbreaking and now I knew that the author knows how to play with my heart strings and crashing it with her hands. Oh man, I got chest pain and lumps in my throat by reading that ending. In spite of loving the ending so much, I also wish that we could see more of August's life after it as there was only one chapter of that. 
 The characters in this book has improved and there were new ones added. I personally loved Kate so much, I loved her character development, her badass fighting, her instinct, and the walls that she builds around herself. I could relate to her in different situations and I wasn't just ready to let her go yet. To be honest, I also loved August, but much less than in This Savage Song and I haven't a clue why. He got more maned up and more serious. But I understand how he was very responsible for his role in the FTF and also wanting to be his old self for Kate. 
 Overall: I loved this book so much. I enjoyed the writing, the setting, the plot, and the characters. I'm so sad that it ended in a heartbreaking way, but this story will always be set in my heart and I'll always take it home.
