Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James
Fifty Shades explores more of Christian Grey's darker past, revealed through the curiosity of his new lover, Anastasia Steele. While they’ve only known each other for a few weeks, their relationship is still new and unique for both of them.
The book certainly lives up to expectations. Given how quickly their relationship progressed in the first book, it wasn’t surprising that they didn’t take things slow when reconnecting.
I did find myself a little annoyed by the frequent use of the word "expert," but there are only so many ways to describe Christian’s skills without diminishing his character.
Knowing this is a trilogy, I wasn’t expecting major plot twists just yet. E.L. James will likely save the real drama for the final book. While Ana’s interactions with the men around her might seem excessive, I’m glad Christian’s brother has Kate to keep things grounded, though I do wonder what’s truly believable anymore.
This book dives deeper into Christian’s world, showcasing his business endeavors and the complex relationships he has with his staff, especially Taylor, who seems to do anything for him—and maybe for Ana too. I also appreciated seeing Ana open up to Dr. Flynn, gaining some closure on the questions lingering in her mind.
Without giving too much away, my favorite scene would have to be at Grace’s charity party, where Ana is auctioned off and wins a bid, entering Christian’s childhood bedroom and sharing their first dance. These moments make the broader story feel more authentic, and the ending of this book, while not full of shocking twists, is satisfying.
I’d recommend this book to fans of romance, especially young adults fresh out of college, who are exploring what the world has to offer.
