![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, the horror Holt gave me was thrilling, but it didn’t have the personal connection like the first book did. ![]() ![]() It simply made me go “huh” and want it to end because I didn’t feel like it was well done. Vours hatching some plot so they can be powerful during the summer solstice, when they’re least powerful? Tracers, who kill Vours and anyone touched by Vours? This weird world the Vours live in that is a world but also isn’t? (Which I have read and, at the time of reading this, had no memory of.)Īs I said, I enjoyed the characters and I wanted to see everything turn out okay for them, but I wasn’t impressed by these things being introduced to it. It felt obvious that Holt was keeping his end game in mind rather than it organically happening and making me go “Oh!” when I read the third book in the series. It felt like it was less about character development and getting me to care about the story - which I did in The Devouring because who doesn’t love an older sister teaching her brother to save himself? - than about hitting the next plot points so the stepping stone was in place for book three.Īnd, while that’s fine and dandy, it didn’t feel as well woven into the story. I still love Reggie and Aaron, but the story gets a little odd. This book continues six months after the events in The Devouring and, let me tell you, it’s good but it isn’t as good. ![]()
