Shadow Chase by Seressia Glass
3.0
I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a bit, but had a hard time with this one. The first 100 or so pages are filled with introspection and grieving (and some info-dumping about what happened in the previous book, but that wasn't too bad). While I think those elements were important, the overall story would have benefited from having those parts mixed in with the action a bit more; the pacing just dragged.
The second half had a lot more action and the pace was a lot faster, but by then I had already given up emotionally, so it didn't have much impact. Also, while the relationship between Kira and Khefar progresses in this book -- and I'm fine with a romance building slowly throughout a series, but... it was kind of flat. I was actually a lot more intrigued by the little we saw of Demoz and his Light-touched assistant (I'd love to know more about that relationship!). At this point, I'm kind of conflicted about whether or not I want to pick up book 3.
