I had a hard time getting through this book. I will say, that I liked certain portions of this book, but the whole is forgettable (unfortunately).
I am slated to read the sequel, too. I will...and I think I should do it soon, since at least the characters are fresh in my mind (as much as they can be).
I wanted this to be so good, but it really wasn't.
I'm reading this book for the Magical Readathon put on my G. of the Book Roast YouTube channel.
The prompt was to read a book with "Shadow" in the title. I'd had this book for a while...and was really interested in reading another Space Opera. The Calling that it is for, is the second that I'm doing for the readathon...The Alchemist.
So...with that complete...I'll move on to book two, Enemy in the Dark. I'm hoping that I enjoy this book, better.
