In this second buddy read episode on Nightbane, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of the back half of the book — and there is a lot to unpack. We talk about the plot-heavy ending, Isla’s continued growth through training and impossible choices, and the emotional weight of a love triangle that only gets more complicated as the stakes rise. From the looming threat of the Drex and the power tied to the sword, to political maneuvering and full-on war preparations, this conversation explores how character development and plot collide in the final stretch. We share our honest reactions to the pacing, the revelations that set up future conflicts, and what these final chapters mean for Isla, Grimm, and the world they’re fighting to survive. If you’ve finished Nightbane or need to process that ending with fellow readers, come talk it out with us.
