3.5 stars. It took me a while to get into it and the writing style is pretty plain, but when it came together, it got interesting. It ended on a huge cliffhanger, so I’ll definitely be reading the sequel.

At first, I was eating this up feeling that it was giving Crescent City vibes in the best way... I lost a little bit of steam with some rushed exposition of world-building and plot hole patching around 70-80%, but I'm glad I trucked on because the twists at the end made me immediately want to pick up the next book to see what happens.

(the quantity and quality is fine and okay, and it's not a driving force of the plot, but it is graphically depicted)

I flew through The Umbra King in the last few days, and I enjoyed it overall, although I wish it delved a little more into the world-building, and the relationships Rory had with her friends.
I liked Caius, even though he ran hot and cold initially. He did have solid reasons for staying away from Rory, so that made sense to me, and he ended up being unable to stay away from her. ;)
I found Rory just a touch immature with the way she responded in extremes at some points. But I do like that she stood up for herself and was pretty vocal about what she felt. I found it pretty crazy how many near death encounters Rory had considering Caius already had visions about her being in danger and they should've been able to prevent it.

I was nervous that I wouldn't like this book because the reviews were back and forth, but I in fact did like it. The world set up was interesting and I enjoyed the MC.
