To Kill a Shadow
by Katherine Quinn
2,5 ⭐
I wanted to love this book, but in the end, I didn't.
I felt like we were given not enough information about the world-building and I often felt like I was missing something. The characters lacked that characterization I enjoy and they felt rather flat to me. I couldn't really empathize with any of them and it was definitely a letdown.
The plot was the most interesting part of this book, but without the proper world-building, it didn't live up to its potential.
The thing I loved the most is the character arc story of Patrick, a character I didn't really care for at the beginning, but who became more interesting towards the end.
The found family trope: an example of a badly written one. I felt like Kiara finding so many friends who felt like a family was just too forced. And finally, the love story: I wished there was none. This book had a lot of potential, which I truly hope will be developed in the next installment.
