    The Magic Continues... in Darker Shades!
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2011*

In this second book of the Fifty Shades Trilogy, the romance continues between Christian and Ana from Ana's point of view... and what a busy POV it is!I have enjoyed this story since it was on the author's website, so it's no surprise I loved this book! The edits have indeed improved the story. "Darker" opens up with the couple apart, but soon Christian and Ana are re-negotiating their relationship.As in the first book of this trilogy, some aspects of the writing are sophomoric, mainly in relation to periphery characters, but don't let that deter you (!) because there is brilliance here too. The relationship between Ana and Christian is just so good. Their frank and open communication is fantastic and their story is not only totally engaging, but downright addicting! Christian (aka, Fifty) is one of the most memorable, delicious characters I have ever read. His voice is unique and clear and mesmerizing, yet he is revealed entirely through Ana's experiences and perception of him (quite a talent, Ms. James!). For both Christian and Ana, everything they think they know about their lives gets tilted at odd angles and makes their growing relationship feel like a thrill ride. All the usual suspects return to keep the "action" going (with at least 3 different mini-plots), and, of course, there is the continuing fallout from Christian's severe childhood (and possible adolescent) trauma. Issues of independence, trust, acceptance, submission and, most importantly, unconditional love are all in play. Despite the intensity and conflict the tone remains witty and playful and romantic.Readers complain about Ana a bit and, I must say, she took me out of my comfort zone at times. I think she's bolder than I would be in her constant questioning of Christian. But I tend not to like confrontation, so it's likely just me. But those who hate misunderstandings will appreciate that no stone goes unturned between these two '. It is refreshing to read about people who are completely guileless with one another. Ana can also come across a bit schizophrenic when her thinking swings from "I want this", to "I don't want this" to "do I want this"? However, this tension feels true to life. Her choices were not easy (too many shades of grey!). Overall, I really like Ana and I certainly enjoyed having a front row seat to her busy inner world. Those (very popular) inner characters may have been overused in this second book, but they are fabulous nonetheless.Something interesting to note: The original story was published one chapter at a time for the subscriber's reading pleasure, so each chapter of this book feels like "a full experience". This format created highly eventful and revealing chapters for the books and the overall story feels "episodic" not unlike the structure of "Outlander" which I found unique and very readable.I also noted Ms. James fleshed out several scenes with additional action and dialogue in this book during editing, which was great for me as an original reader. I thought she did a splendid job filling in some gaps and deepening the story. The author also summed up the day's events from time to time in this version. I didn't mind it, but it dragged the action down for me a bit. New readers will likely benefit from the summaries as I remember needing to summarize in my own head previously. The only quibble with this format is the repetition (Christian sets his "mouth in a hard line" about 10 times throughout the book; Ana wonders if it "will it always be like this" about 3 or 4 different things and she reminds us many times that she wants to know more about Christian), but it didn't pull me out of the story at all. In fanfiction, it doesn't feel repetitious when it takes 2 years to tell the story.The sensuality is once again hot, hot, hot. It doesn't feel gratuitous to me, but there is a lot of it. The sexual experiences between Christian and Ana and their growing intimacy are central to the story in FSD and are gloriously full of the darkest and lightest shades of grey.I can name a hundred heart-soaring, heart-rending and breathtaking moments in this book. There are many favorite scenes that I am already looking forward to re-reading (Portland to Seattle, anyone?). I am a fan, what can I say? Although British-isms still abound, there are typos, and a couple of the mini-plots are duds, I don't care. It's imperfect, but it's so very unique in its style, its structure and its content. I adore it and highly recommend it!

    There is Nothing Unconditional Love Can't Overcome
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2012*

As much as I loved Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades #1), this book is where the series hooks you.  We begin not only seeing but also becoming angry over every childhood tragedy behind the darkness plaguing Ana's beloved Christian.  Believe me, it doesn't get much darker.Christian was born and raised for the first four years of his life by a drug-addicted prostitute (left with her dead body for four days before being discovered), beaten and burned by his mother's pimp, and sexually abused as a teenager by one of his adopted mother's best friends.  Man, who wouldn't be fifty shades of messed up after living through all that.  (All of this comes to light in book one and pretty early in the second book. so I don't really consider this information a spoiler.)Through Ana's non-stop probing, we find out all these things gently and gradually so that not one of them is too overwhelming.  With his responses and her reaction to them, we understand completely how she can fall in love with such a domineering man.  Like her, we accept 1) the fact that he still believes he is the little boy who was put in uncontrollable situations, 2) the reasons he never wants to go back, and 3) how difficult it is for him to understand that he must evolve if he wants kind, sweet, and gentle Ana to stay with him forever.I would be remiss if I didn't mention the slap heard around the world in this book. There will not be a reader who regrets the way E.L. James masterfully embeds it into the storyline.One of the reasons this series is great is because there is always so much more to everything than that which meets the eye.  There are reasons behind every action and reaction.  I, as a lover of great books and an author, I adore books like this.  I appreciate how difficult it is to write people, scenes, and settings that are this layered and complicated.  This series is more than an erotica.  It's a romance (which makes your heart race with love).  It's an action and adventure (which makes your heart race with excitement).  It's just plain amazing.I'm left feeling pity for those who are superficial and can't appreciate the masterpiece created by E.L. James.  It would be comparable to someone saying that they hate Pretty Woman because Julia Roberts was a prostitute.  I promise you that if you say you like Pretty Woman...no one automatically assumes you want to be or bed a prostitute.  It means that you like a good love story.  That theory holds true with the entire Fifty Shades series.  Take it for what it is and don't hate yourself for liking it.I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I'm in awe of E.L. James and her ability to make this villainous man not only human but a lovable human.
