The Lightstruck by Sunya Mara

2.0

Pacing if the book was really odd. I felt like I never got a clear picture of how things were experienced or solved, like all the important parts of the story were described in a drugged state. Ending was abrupt.

The Darkening by Sunya Mara

2.5

Decent story but told in a weird pace. The ending was really unbelievable -- characters completely changed their personalities and it was unexpected/confusing.
