Shade by Jamie Begley

2.0

The description did not make clear that this was a retelling of basically the entire series from Shade's pov. It didn't even go into all the detail it should have for the book to be appreciated as more of a standalone or one to catch you up to speed before the next book, so many parts were confusing or seemed to come just out of nowhere. The only reason I finished this 25 hour audiobook (yes, it's really that long) is because people were saying there's new/important stuff "towards the end". I had no idea where "towards the end" of 25 hours was, so I listened to the entire thing. I'd say probably the last 8 hours is where new stuff starts to happen.

I've really enjoyed the other books in this series, so this one was just completely disappointing. Hopefully Lucky's book is better.
