The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
What is with JL Armentrout and death.
When I read her books I just need to remind myself not to get too close to any characters. Everyone is free game. Good sequel. Slower beginning but then picked up. In fact, there was non stop action. I felt like I was running a marathon! This series stays really close to the Lux series. The book just gives off the same vibes (which it should bc it is in the same world).

Honestly, the worst death has to be Kent right? I mean you don't end up caring for the mom. Kent brought a humor to a mostly serious group. Now I fear everything is going to be non-stop serious. And his death was so quick!
In fact, everything started happening so quickly. From the middle of the book to the end things kept popping up. I didn't understand why Evie went back to school at all. Any time she was ever alone she was attacked. She needed to just lie low, but after every attack everyone just tried to go back to normal. I found that odd. There were no breaks.
The ending was a little disappointing. I don't like the fact that Dasher is still alive. He just seems like such a lame villain. Also, when they say that Evie was meant for Luc, does that mean that Daedelus picked her up off the streets and made sure Paris found her? How did they orchestrate all of that. It seems a little far-fetched to me.
It is interesting to see all of the previous characters in this one. You usually see cameos, but they were here for a lot of it. It is a bit odd. It's weird to have Katy in the story and not have her be the main character.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I did see the series going in a different direction when I first heard about it, so I am a little disappointed because it seems so much like the later Lux novels, but it was still enjoyable. Either way, I will keep reading as long as Luc is in the picture.
