The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
Guys...
So much happened in this book that I can't even wrap my mind around it yet.
Picking up after The Darkest Star, Evie is still working out who she really is and you can tell that it's beginning to weigh heavily on her. Trying to bridge the distance between Evie and Nadia often leaves her feeling confused and even angry. I did feel bad for her because you could tell she was trying to make the people around her happy but wasn't focusing on who she was internally.
Then there's Luc - don't get me wrong, I adore this man. But I did kind of want to punch him in this one. He's very controlling over Evie and I get that it's because he cares but he also needs to let her stand on her own and support her while she tries to figure out who she is. And omg the cockiness that radiates of this guy lol.
For the fans of the original Lux series, we got to seem some old characters that we love so that was really nice. But OMG the bombs that were dropped throughout this - I need more. I need to know what's going to happen to Evie with all that was revealed. I am also loving (and kind of terrified) by how much this book relates to what is going on in our world now. You have hate, prejudice, a president who wants to deny rights and even a killing virus. Jen really hit the nail on the head there. It was very eerie to read about.
I also need Armentrout to STOP KILLING CHARACTERS I LIKE!
