Weight of Silence by A.M. Arthur
4.0
I'm not sure exactly why this falls a little short for me. I enjoyed the story. The characters were lovely. I liked the way the story unfolded and there's plenty of plot points that are set to tug at the heartstrings. Yet, while I had some feels, it wasn't all rip your heart out and cry at the nasty.
See the thing is there's a lightness to the writing style. And that's not a bad thing. It just sometimes seems to belay the gravity of certain story elements in this story. Jace is dealing with some legit internal struggles, so much so that his health is suffering. What detracts from things for me is once everything's revealed it just seems to easy. It sort of just goes away. Sure he faces his demons and all, but I don't know how to explain I was just left wanting a little more. I was satisfied, and not left feeling like things weren't addressed or handled in a believable manner. I just wanted more.
This was a quick easy read. As the stories in this series have been in the past and I'll continue reading them because at the end of the day I still really enjoy the story. I loved Gavin and Jace together. I loved how Gavin and his family stood up for Jace when his own didn't live up to their job. There are so many wonderful elements that I enjoy about this book and the others in the series, but I never quite fall into the raving awesome category. Still I'll look forward to reading the next one as well.
