The one thing that you take away from this 337-paged book –
even at the end of the first book – is that everything has changed. Seriously,
you would have thought that would have been apparent in the last book, when
Skye found out that she was the offspring of two warring faction angels, but
no. This time everything has changed.
Skye has finally figured out that the Order – the supposed
good guys – aren’t as good as they claim to be. Not since Devin, a member of
the Order, was ordered to kill her. She somehow miraculously survived and now
has to figure out how to deal with everything she knows now.
As much as I liked this book – seriously it was better than
the first one – A Fractured Light
still drove me crazy. It wasn’t until about halfway through the book that I
started to wonder what exactly was the point? There weren’t any big plot heavy
moments. No big battles between the Order and the Rebels, although the
Guardians transferring into Skye’s school was sort of interesting. Asher and
Skye’s relationship was cute, as was Cassie and Dan’s. I was really pissed off
with Ian when he laid into Skye about liking Devin and Asher and not him. Where did he get off? She
doesn’t like you like that, Ian, and that’s her
decision. Yeah, she treated you like crap, but to expecting her to like you
after all these years? Gah. It just wasn’t cool.
Except for finding out that Aunt Joe has known the whole
time about Skye and her parents, and the last twenty pages where the finale
gets set up big time, this book didn’t really advance the plot too much. I was
sort of disappointed with that.
Final Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Better than the first book,
but was mostly filler.
