The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
2.0
2 stars because when I put my mouse over the three stars choice it said I liked it which I can in fact confirm I did not. I buddy-read this one with my BF and she and I who both love the Lux series were so disappointed that I can't guarantee I'll even finish this series.
1. This book did not need to be 429 pages. I would argue that at least 250 of those pages were annoying fluff that did not add to the story and rather made me dislike most the characters significantly.
2. CLICHE. So much of this story was so cliche it hurt my head rolling my eyes so hard. You know when you think they won't do that because it would be too obvious... well don't worry that happened over and over again.
3. Killing characters that I actually liked and leaving twatty characters I didn't made this read even worse.
4. A super dumb cliffhanger that wasn't surprising if you have ever read any of JLA's past stuff.
I am sad because I love the Lux world and the first book was interesting and getting to know the characters wasn't bad but this story took all the warm fuzzies I had going back into this world and smothered them with a pillow.
