In the Waning Light by Loreth Anne White
4.0
4 stars!
*
In the Waning Light was such!! an entertaining read to me. I loved how White made use of the book within a book narrative element and how it all came together to tell a really tense story. Meg's perspective was so easy to read and get lost into, though some of the shifting POV to other characters were a bit abrupt at times.
The plot development was so well done. I did guess what happened, but that in no way made me dislike the story any less. It was pretty exciting to read about the way everything came together, since I personally love mystery plots that have a connection to the main character, and how new pieces of evidence came to light. There were a few twists regarding it that did shock me quite a bit as well!
The second half was filled with so so so much tension that I ended up not putting the book down until I finished it. I didn't expect for things to be solved the way they did and the added bit of suspense White added to the story. I did enjoy the hopeful ending, though, and how Meg changed so much from the person she was in the first chapter.
And a little mention of the romance: it was pretty sweet and served as a good point of conflict between characters and as a balance to the mystery. It was a bit angsty, but I did like how it progressed and how everything turned out okay in the end.
