A review by mitslits
Legacy of Light by Sarah Raughley
1.0
As expected, this disappointed. I think the most baffling thing is that this book genuinely seems to be trying to say something about violence, and power, and inevitability... but that kind of gets lost in evil undead twins and mech-hands and something literally called the ring of wishes. What I'm trying to say is that this book is silly. And it's still trying to have a serious conversation.
I couldn't take its big ideas seriously. There was too much dumbness getting in the way. Gunshots seemed to mean nothing to the main characters. I believe Maia gets shot a grand total of three times in this series, and not once does it have real impact. None of the important characters stay dead. They all get free resurrections, for some reason. Figures who lives consist of watching over humanity somehow seem surprised by the willingness to sacrifice oneself for others? For REAL??
This series never got better.
