A review by brendalovesbooks
In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellan

3.0

This was fairly good, but there just wasn't anything very exciting about it. I didn't care very much for any of the characters, the plot was a bit boring a lot of the time, and the ending was a bit lackluster. I would potentially read the next book in the series, but it depends on how much I've forgotten, because I definitely wouldn't re-read this.

There were some interesting ideas here, and it really wasn't terrible, but I was never anxious to pick it up and read it, and it was way too easy to put down.
