Wow, just wow this book ripped a part my soul and then slowly put it back together again! Evie and Luc can’t get any more adorable or else I will die of a sweet tooth. Omg! This book took off with a bang and then kept going and going with the amazing action! I can’t believe all the crazy things that happened!!!!
The dilemma that this poor girl is facing, I just can’t even imagine what that is like! To remember or not to remember that is the question and I don’t even know what my answer would be. Not only does this poor girl not remember most of her life, she doesn’t know whether or not people’s feelings are for her or the girl she was before.
The plot also went into a complete different direction that I thought and I completely surprised about who was the person responsible! I totally guessed wrong and was taken completely by surprise! IT WAS SO GOOD!

Un libro un poco irrelevante.
He tenido que releer el primero bc no me acordaba de mucho de lo que pasaba. Dicho esto. Ha sido un error. Ya me lo olia antes de hacerlo, bc se por donde va Jennifer L. Armentrout con sus historias. Y no esta segura de si seguia siendo mi tipo, pero decidi hacerlo porque, 1.Estaba en mi lista de most unexpected relewses de 2019; 2.Recordaba que habia acabado con un plot-twist de la hostia pero, fiel a mi memoria de pez, no recordaba cual y tenia curisosidad; 3.Le tengo muchisimo cariño a lansaga Lux. Fuebde mis favoritas cuando era adolescente y estaba deep en YA literature. Ahora, habiendo pasado 2 años desde que lei el primero libro puedo decir que Jennifer L. Armentrout ya no es para mi. Es una autora que no ha evolucionado nada. Ni en su pluma, ni en sus historias, ni en sus personajes. Son todos calcos unos de otros. Y sonbretodo los protas masculinos. Dios mio. Ya no es el tipo de chico quee gusta, para nada. Y claro, leer ciertas cosas que le decia a Evie/Nadia me hacian cringrear muchisimo. Que estoy segura de que Daemon, y todos sus otros males lead characters que he leido son iguales, pero chica, es 2021, por favor.
Haciendo releectura del libro 1e vi venir todos los plot-twist y no porque los recordara bc no. Y en el segundo casi igual. Lo de que Evie fuese una Trojan (humano al que le han inyextado box Luxen and Aurum DNA) ha estado muy bien. He continuado leyendo y leerle el 3er libro porque lo que mas me gusta de la saga Luxen y de esta es el urban sci-fi element. Despues de la invasion de hace 4 años USA (al igual que tamtos otros paises) ha quedado devastado y ahora las persomas viven en uno pocos enclaves habitable. Of course al final del libro nuestra prota se entera de que van camino a Zone 3, aka Houston, que que no es una wasteland inhabitable, si no uma ciudad secreta (de tantas) dejada atras durante la invasion en la que viven Luxen, Origins, Hybrids y humanos alejados del resto de la civilizacion. This I love. Y como decia, me encanta la parte de los aliens, this kinda dystopia, y la parte de conspiracion gubernamental. Fas-ci-nan-te.
Por supuesto la autora drags along any discovery during the book and waits until the end to reveal any interesting information. Pero es que no viene acuento que tarde tanto de verdad. Durante el libro no pasa nada sustancial. Al final del primer libro Evie descubre que es Nadia, and is currently undergoing an indenty crisis. Que es muy serio, pero la autora lo descubri tan superficialmente mal que es quee da igual. Paralelamente en la ciudad and across the country estan ocurriendo extrañas muertes. Luego descubrimos que todos los aseinados son en realidad Trojan que estaban activandose y siendo eliminados por los Sons of Liberty antes de que se conviertieran en supersoldados. Y aqui es donde la conspiracion gubernamental comes into play. Todo esto lo habian hecho a traves de bio weapons. Resulta que the Daedalus (que se veia venir a km que todavia seguia activo) habia realsed una strain de la gripe into the water stream country-wise y esta se activaria en alguna personas o no, dependiendo de si se huvieran vacunado contra la gripe o no (si es que esto solo podria pasar el USA, de verdad). Curioso que leyendo esto en enero de 2021 esto lea tan relatable. Jajajajajaja. Total, que Evie es una supersoldado alien a la que the Daedalus busca big time. Y por eso Houston va a acabar torn to pieces en el 3er libro cuando vayan a captutarla.
Btw cuando drama incesesario de instituto, señor. Cada vez me gusta menos el high-school setting pero, si esta bien esceito y llevado no me molesta. Como en I wish you all the best.
In other news, me ha gustado reunirnos con Dee y Archer, y Dawson y Bethany. Pero sobretodo con Daemon y Kat. Pero ahora que ya no seguimos a Daemon como protagonista se ha vuelto muy annoying. Hence, lo mencionado del tipo de persoonajes masculinos a los que ya no aguanto. Bueno, Kat esta super pregnant, at 22, pero lo voy a ignorar bc en este muevo mundo they die young, so.
Me fastidia que hayan matado a la madre de Evie (tal y como mataron a la de Kat en la saga Lux, ejem), pero que resulte que su alleged father este vivo y sea el big bad wold. (Uff, solo de pensarlo...Luc va a estar insportable en el 3er libro cuando se entere, con todo eso de su odio por el y tal).
Tengo esperanzas de que el Coronel Eaton enseñe a Evie a usar sus poderes. Y que Luc tampoco se ponga insoportable con esto tampoco). Ahora que lo pienso, thanks the lord que no ha habido mucho romance en esta saga. Aunque tampoco es que el resto haya sido muy bueno...
Lo dicho, a ver hacia donde gira todo esto de la conspiracion de los supersoldados y que va a pasar con los aliens en el siguiente libro.

Guys...
So much happened in this book that I can't even wrap my mind around it yet.
Picking up after The Darkest Star, Evie is still working out who she really is and you can tell that it's beginning to weigh heavily on her. Trying to bridge the distance between Evie and Nadia often leaves her feeling confused and even angry. I did feel bad for her because you could tell she was trying to make the people around her happy but wasn't focusing on who she was internally.
Then there's Luc - don't get me wrong, I adore this man. But I did kind of want to punch him in this one. He's very controlling over Evie and I get that it's because he cares but he also needs to let her stand on her own and support her while she tries to figure out who she is. And omg the cockiness that radiates of this guy lol.
For the fans of the original Lux series, we got to seem some old characters that we love so that was really nice. But OMG the bombs that were dropped throughout this - I need more. I need to know what's going to happen to Evie with all that was revealed. I am also loving (and kind of terrified) by how much this book relates to what is going on in our world now. You have hate, prejudice, a president who wants to deny rights and even a killing virus. Jen really hit the nail on the head there. It was very eerie to read about.
I also need Armentrout to STOP KILLING CHARACTERS I LIKE!

I hate that I got so behind on reading once school started back because I was so excited to read this one! Of course once I did pick this one up, it was so hard to put down, well, other than how big the book is, so it was hard to hold for too long either! LOL!! There were so many new obstacles and things with the Luxen and Arum and Origins and even some new people/creatures/beings/secret organizations thrown in. And yeah, all four of those things, not me just trying to be random. I was also so excited when there was something that happened in the book that took place in my city of Kansas City, and I knew exactly where it was supposed to be happening! So much back story learned during this one, but also so many more questions and things we need to know! And that ending! Wow! Total cliffhanger. I still adore Luc of course, but maybe still Daemon more though. But now we need to know exactly what is happening to Evie. I will say I got a little annoyed with her whole wondering if he only loved the girl he remembered and that his feeling weren't really for her now. Hopefully she'll move on from that in the next book. Which, do I have to wait a whole year? Because I don't know if I can wait! Well, my arms can, they did get a little tired holding this one in bed at night. Honestly, this size of book is exactly why e-books are sometimes better! Oh yeah, and I loved seeing the name of a former book blogger that I know is friends with the author for one of the characters.
I started to really like this book and then it started to just go downhill. Not all, downhill...but more like the main character was repeating herself “I’m not sure...I don’t know what to do..should I ask?..no I shouldn’t ask” and then repeat all of that until almost the end of the book lol.
But I enjoyed the scenes with Luc and I feel like we are finally getting somewhere with the main character finding herself and who she is supposed to be.
I’m disappointed I have to wait for the next book and looks like it’ll be quite the wait.

Do yourself a favour AND READ THIS BOOK! 10/5 stars - loved every single part of it!!!!
This story continues for Luc and Evie, and not only does the plot thickens (with a help of some old Lux characters) but oh boy is there action!! I couldn’t put this book down. I found myself gasping, crying and pleading because I wanted more.
Evie really matures in this story (annoyed me less) and let’s Luc in, which I was so relieved to see because the love Luc has for her - He is more than worth it.
OH AND THAT ENDING was so good to see the old Lux gang.
5 stars.

Finally met (a very pregnant!!!) Kat again! This book made me want to reread Lux Series maybe after I finished with this series athough I read somewhere that there might be another book yet to be released. Sigh.
