Lady of Shadows
by Melissa K. Roehrich
Solid 2.75.
As with the first book the "good part" starts about 2/3 of the way through, where more of the deeper story is revealed just before the cliffhanger - nearly rage quite the book just before the twist. While there are bits and pieces of the overarching story woven into the first 2/3 of the book it can get lost amongst all of constant fighting/ hot & cold between Scarlet & Sorin, Prince Callan's creepy obsession of Scarlett, and Scarlett's moping and whining. Not sure if I will read the rest of the books or not, maybe give it one more in the series to see if the pacing and story development jerkiness is smoothed out. Overall, the story progresses so very little in 525 pages, VERY LITTLE, and I'm just not sure I even like Scarlett. Elements I did love: all the banter between the "side characters" and the found family aspect, and how the magic of the oracle is depicted.
