The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
I’ve been dying to read this one since last year. But I just never seemed in the mood to pick it up. I have to be really in the mood to read a science fiction book. It’s not something that I always read and I need to be in the right frame to read it. But as soon as I saw it was one of my highest rated I knew I wanted to pick it up. And I’m so glad that I did.
The Burning Shadow follows the events of The Darkest Star. Evie is still reeling from the news of who she is and the events of the past book. Evie doesn’t know who she is and there are gaps in her memory. Months that she can’t remember, but she does know that they are important. And now things are getting more dangerous. A flu-like virus is spreading the government is blaming Luxen. As the tension heats up Evie needs to not only survive her new life and everything that is happening around her, but also her feelings for Luc. Who she can’t help but keep on falling for.
I have forgotten how much I love this world and characters. The world is bold, changing and always pulling me in. The characters are sassy, intriguing and you never know who to trust. It’s one of those books that you never know what is going to happen. You think you do and then it does a 180 and you are throw in another direction.
I love Evie as a protagonist in The Burning Shadow. She is resilient, strong and she grew more and more as the novel went on. One of my favourite things to see is a character grow over a series and we are getting to see that her with Evie. She is not only getting to know herself more but also who she was. There were times when I want to give her a little push in the right direction, but she made it there eventually.
Luc is one of my favourite characters of all time. He is funny and entertaining. He can relieve the tension in a very intense book. Luc had these classics moments throughout The Burning Shadow that just made me laugh out loud and it was fantastic.
I adored that the reader can see old characters come in and out of The Burning Shadow and I think they will be heavily featured in the next book for sure. It was like seeing old friends and put a smile on my face.
The ending was intense and I have no idea what is going to happen next. Jennifer L. Armentrout knows how to write massive cliff hangers that leave you guessing. I’m nervous and excited to see where it all goes. The Burning Shadow was intense, but it was only the tip of the iceberg and things are about to plummet and get very interesting.
Overall, I love reading The Burning Shadow. Evie and Luc are simply fantastic, both as their character, and together they are so much fun. I adored the romance, the friendships and the plot keeps on giving. If you are looking for a fun science-fiction high adult young, then this series is for you.
