The Shadow Revolution: Crown & Key by Susan Griffith, Clay Griffith

2.0

I liked the beginning so much that I rented the next two books before I’d finished. I should have waited because they expired before I finished the first one. The last 3/4 of the book is primarily detailed descriptions of fight scenes moving to a new location and then a detailed description of another fight scene. This is the Michael Bay film of books. It was so boring I started to fast forward through the scenes. The “strong” female character is poorly written with descriptions of how she’s lighter than a feather to lift. She’s smart but suffers many of the pitfalls of the male gaze. I may give book 2 a try to see if the characters I liked (Penny) play a larger role.
