I felt like it was more concerned with being stylistic than telling a story.

I wanted to like this book so bad. But I hated how it started basically right where it ended. And we really got no answers... it felt like complete filler. Could you be saved from the glow? What is Nealy’s power? Where did the powers come from? Does she love Nealy or River? (Very confused about this, and not sure if she doesn’t know herself, or if the twisty, poetic writing makes it unclear.) Basically, with this book, I can’t tell how much of the ambiguity is intentional and how much is poor writing.
:( disappointed. I would be less disappointed if I knew there was a 3rd to answer all my questions, but at this moment, there’s not. So I’m just disappointed. And I liked the first one so much!!!

i loved everything about Between the Spark and the Burn. the plot was entrancing and the writing was absolutely stunning. however, there were so many unnecessary details, which was to be expected. i mean, come on, a fucking sea king? really?

in the end, it was still a fun read and i would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves strange, possibly unnecessary plot twists.
