We'll start at the beginning with the first review I ever wrote (which was just a few months ago for Goodreads). I received a free copy of this book for an honest review. I actually, overall, really liked the book and eagerly await the sequel. However, I did give it only 3 out of 5 stars.
Hopefully, I'll get better at this writing thing. Practice makes better, right?
*************
I spent the first 10 chapters wondering if I skipped some pages because
things weren't very clear. The chapters bounced back and forth between
the two story lines making it feel disjointed. I think if Luria would
have written Melia's story and then introduced Mia, it would have flowed
much better and not felt like information was missing.
Lumin
is a wondrous planet. I wished, however, she had spent more time with
the description details. At times, some of the relationships felt
rushed but, overall, very strong and likable characters.
The
story picks up immensely around chapter 11/12. It reels you in quickly
and deeply, making you not want to put the book down. I would give the
book 5 stars based on chapters 12 and up. However, the rough start
really made it hard for me to keep reading. I'm glad I did, though, and
can't wait for the next book.
