I love that the major revelations of The Darkest Star aren’t just brushed aside, and Evie spends a lot of time coming to terms with what she has learned. This book brings in more insights into both Luc and Evie’s characters. I feel like every one of her main couples has completely mastered the art of bantering. The Burning Shadow is a long book, and while there is definitely a lot happening, there is also a lot of emphasis on character relationships. Because of that, the book can feel a little slow, especially in the beginning. That said, it definitely picks up, and there’s plenty of action and plot twists to look forward to! Characters So, I already talked about some of the themes in this book, which really is the majority of the plot. Armentrout’s sense of humor just fills me with joy each time I read one of her books. And, of course, there was just as much entertaining banter and fun quips. The political aspect is a much bigger part of this book than it was in the first, and while sometimes it was a little too much, for the most part it was really interesting and scarily realistic.
It’s quirky, funny, lighthearted, yet unafraid to tap into darker subjects. Speaking of which, there’s more of a focus on the darker/more serious themes that were hinted at in The Darkest Star that take center stage in The Burning Shadow. This book’s writing style is classic Jennifer L.
