The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

5.0

*4.75 Stars*

I was provided an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review.

The Origin series, spin-off to the Lux series, continues with this book, The Burning Shadow. The sequel picks up right where we left off in The Darkest Star.

I'm not gonna try to summarize the book since it's a sequel and anything I could say would spoil the first book for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

I will say however that JLA hit a homerun again.
I’ve seen that some people thought it was a bit long but I was sucked in from the very first page and to me, it could have been even longer. I was captivated. I barely ever saw any twists and turns coming and I felt everything from beginning to end. It really was incredibly paced to me, every high, every low, a perfect rollercoaster.
I just love these characters so much. JLA’s characters are always so layered and relatable in different ways, you can’t help but connect with them and that really drove me throughout this book. I especially fell for some of the secondary characters who just touched me.
The relationships between the characters were also very complex and made me feel a lot, and when I say relationships, I mean the friendships as well the romantic relationships.

This series is turning out great, I cannot wait to read the next installment.
