5.0

Omygodddd!! 5 beautiful stars for this amazing sequel!!
What a rush this read has been! Non-stop space adventure at it's best. I thought the first book, Shadow Run, was already amazing but this book blew me away even more so. The development of everything was incredibly well done; the character developments, the story-line development. Just amazing! And then those plot twists.. holy SH*T! Everything I came to love in the first book, was present in this one AND then some. I'm still on a high right now and I probably won't get off for a while, lol. What a great read!!

I sat on the edge of my seat non-stop! I cried, I loved, I hated, I fell apart... I experienced so many emotions! I FELT non-stop from beginning till end and this is how I need books to be. What a thrilling and amazing read Shadow Call has been and because of that wonderful first book and this amazing second book, this series so far is now definitely one of my favorites among the YA sci-fi genre. It may even be battling with the #1 spot that the Illuminae Files has conquered, so that’s saying something if you know how much I loooove the Illuminae books. There’s not 1 negative thing I could possibly say about this book. Whereas second books often tend to have that typical ‘second book syndrome’ thing going on, this was thankfully not the case with Shadow Call. At all. This book was even better than the first book, which was already amazing.

I love the characters all so much and their development in this sequel is astonishingly well done I think. They gained even more depth this time around and I loved experiencing this story with them. My heart broke for them, I cried with and for them, I loved alongside them, I fought with them. I just couldn’t get enough of it all and I NEED that next book like NOW.

The storyline development is out of this world good – literally, lol – and contained a lot of twists I didn’t see coming, which is something I’m sooo thrilled about. I love it when books surprise me story wise so A LOT OF KUDOS to both authors for accomplishing this.

The action scenes are so awesome and vividly written and it feels like I’m really watching a non-stop adventure movie in my head; just awesome! Safe to say I love the sci-fi settings in outer space and I loved exploring more worlds in this galaxy and I can’t wait to see how the story is going to continue knowing what happened in this book and how new stuff got introduced.

Shadow Call exceeded all my expectations and It’s safe to say that if you liked Shadow Run, you are going to devour Shadow Call and fall even harder for this amazing sci-fi story and these amazing characters.
