Our thoughts...
Save me and I'll save you....
I am not even sure how to put into words the review to Lux.
I ask myself questions over and over again. What if I didn’t get the message?
Did I miss something? Why do I feel like I reread over half of the book again? These
are all the things running through my mind after I finished. I was thoroughly
dumbfounded. Now don’t get me wrong I absolutely loved the first two novels Nocte,
and Verum. I felt the author had great momentum with the two previous novels,
and there were tons of questions running through my mind. You can imagine how
elated I was to dive into Lux with no knowledge of anything. To say I was super
hyped would have been an understatement.
As I started reading
I noticed a re-occurring trend sweeping through the pages. It was all
relatively similar to what I read before. The same scenes playing out, with the
same words lighting up the pages over and over again. I really did think I was
crazy at times, however it all started to blur together. By the last twenty percent
I was just ready to get the answers I had been seeking all along. Even though I
don’t want to spoil it for you. There is explanation for the reasoning behind
the crazy. I thought the ending was a bit weak in terms of wrapping up
everything. I felt that things were plugged in a rush. Maybe it’s me, and my perception of how it
was all supposed to be. I just know in my heart that if I didn’t “get it” I
just didn’t get it. I love Courtney’s writing, and I think she is exceptional
with her art. The ending to this series just fell very flat for me, and by the
end I was just ready to be done. 3
Stars.
