Black City by Elizabeth Richard

The main characters Natalie and Ash hid their forbidden love from the government and army. Ash is a dark magical creature while Natalie is human. When an outbreak started killing all the Darkling’s including Ash’s mom Natalie and Ash try to find out the cause. I think that their love is truly powerful because it’s illegal to love each other. Natalie realizes that Ash isn’t human but he isn’t a monster either. I think it’s dangerous for them to be together but then they will have to try and change the people of the city’s mind.

          

             I don’t know how they’re going to turn out in the future because of their forbidden love. But I think its sweet that they love each other even though they are different.  But when Ash gets in trouble for killing a tracker to save Natalie’s life he has to be executed it was heartbreaking to see Ash almost die. But it’s strong for Natalie when she brings him back to life with their love.

                         

             When I finished reading the book I felt hope for the city and hope for the love that they had. I felt sad that the war had only just begun for them. I noticed that there was a lot of betrayal in the book. I also noticed that people only cared for themselves to survive. I felt that they was a deeper meaning to all the fighting and war between humans and darklings.
