Armentrout’s writing really works for me. I am a huge sucker for the Lux series and always was interested in Luc. So, I was excited to read his story.
This is definitely a Jennifer L. Armentrout book. She has a distinctive style: writing choice, characters, etc. I personally, like them but they definitely aren’t for everyone. Her male love interests tend to be over-bearing.
Evie was a fun narrator, but couldn’t help, but comparing her to Katy. I really like her friend group-you can tell they care about each other. There’s definitely something up with her friend James. I have some theories, because something fuels just a little off. Luc was exactly what I expected.
The romance was good. Luc and Evie have good chemistry. I would like if they fought a little less-or at least didn’t have the same argument every time. It just started to make me frustrated-just have an actual conversation, people!
This story takes place after the Lux series so now the world knows about aliens. I really liked reading about the “after” world. It puts a lot of things into perspective and has interesting parallels to the current political environment (at least here in the US). I am very curious to see what happens in the world at large.
Also, I now really want to re-read the Lux series.
Does anyone know how many books are going to be in this series? I need to know.
Thanks for reading!
