Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning

3.0

Unfortunately, this continues to not be what I wanted and hoped for from the second part of this series. I loved the initial books with Mac narrating and will gladly say they're one of my all-time favorites. Iced wasn't perfect but it set exactly the path and POV for this set of books that should have been. Mac and Barrons are seen and discussed but are no longer the focus. Dani stole the show and even though it took some getting used to it was her turn to shine. When Burned turned back to Mac's POV and I read some of the plot reversals and manipulations that warped the story I was incredibly disappointed. Now in Feverborn we get POVs all over the place but we're still stuck with Mac. She's got a bit more fight than in Burned but I still resent her place at the forefront of the story. Also, the plot here barely moves forward. Almost nothing actually happens. There's so much internal Mac dialogue but little concrete change in circumstances until the end of the book. The saving grace is Dani. We FINALLY get to see some of her story and it's well worth the wait. My heart broke for her and then I grinned at her inherent Dani-ness. The final chapters of the book are fantastic and finally hit the mark for this part of the series. But, be warned it's a mega cliffhanger until Feversong! All in all, Burned and Feverborn just aren't what I wish this series had become but at least there's a spark here for going forward.
