Fifty Shades Darker Part Two Review

The story begins where the last one has left off but offers a bit of insight into the enigmatic, Mr Grey’s past.This is the first sign you are dealing with more than the standard fanfic fodder.

Much like the second book of its inferior counterpart - The relationship between Grey and Steele is in tatters due to a betrayal.  But the 2 leads dwell on their feelings & their differences before coming to understand that what started as a brief interlude has developed into something unexpected.

It’s after this opening that the story diverges greatly & develops into a story of its own.  I tried to explain the second book without giving away to much plot away the only things I could think of as it’s a story of obsession and dealing with past wrongs. So the following issues of independence, trust, acceptance, submission and, most importantly, unconditional love is all in play. Despite the intensity and conflict the tone remains witty and playful and romantic.

Caught up in the whirlwind of conflicting emotions and her feelings for Christian, Anastasia acquiesces to Christian’s impromptu marriage proposal.

The introduction of several new characters from Christian’s past has Anastasia doubt both her feelings and his for her as she is caught up in this past, that she has not even begin to understand or work through the ramifications of Christian's  past are now directly affecting her happiness and threatening her life with Christian.

The book is heavy on the angst, inner monologue, intense war of battle wills, heavy on sex but light on BDSM .Reading this book was like being in a every steadying wind-turbine test tunnel as it is ramps up towards the final book. My only issue I had was some overly repetitive phase usage as far as physical reactions to things done or said.

If the first book was 2.5, this is most certainly a 3.5 start out of 5. I’m completely addicted
