Redemption hat mich wirklich mitgerissen. Die Geschichte war für mich flüssig zu lesen und es hat sich trotz der sechshundert Seiten nicht zu lang angefühlt , was es sich für mich sonst meistens bei der Seitenanzahl tut. Das liegt einerseits an der durchgehend spannenden Storyline, sobdern auch an der bewegenden Lovestory. Außerdem habe ich wirklich genossen, wieder mehr in Katys, Deamons, Dees und der Welt all der anderen Charaktere der Obsidian Reihe einzutauchen und such die Verknüpfung der beiden Reihen ist Jennifer L Armentrout hervorragend gelungen.
Der Cliffhanger war echt fies und ich dachte wirklich, dass der dritte Teil der letzte ist. (Btw keine Ahnung, wie ich darauf komme.) Auf jeden Fall ist das Ende unglaublich spannend und ich kann nicht mehr abwarten, dass der vierte Teil rauskommt.
Mit jedem neuen Teil der Serie kann ich die Charaktere mehr ins Herz schließen und auch auf die, die ich aus der Obsidian-Reihe noch kenne, konnte ich nochmal ganz neu kennenlernen und ebenfalls mehr ins Herz schließen.
Jennifer L Armentrouts Schreibstil ist sehr flüssig zu lesen, gleichzeitig ist er sehr anschaulich gestaltet, weswegen man sich echt gut in der Welt der Aliens verlieren kann. Allerdings muss ich mich sagen, dass es für mich ab und zu einfach Stellen gab, die einfach nicht richtig angefühlt haben. Sie haben auf mich gewirkt, als würden sie nicht richtig ins Bild passen.
Allem in allem ist dieses Buch für alle Obsidianfans eine echte Empfehlung, bereitet euch auf eine faszinierende Geschichte mit starken Charaktere und einem fiesen Cliffhanger vor.

Nope. Not in the right frame of mind to write a coherent review.
Please wake me up when it's next October (the release of the next book) because I cannot, absolutely cannot, wait for it.

This book was really good. I appreciated how much more all of the characters & themes introduced in the Lux series were at the forefront. I found that yes, the book did take a bit to move along, but I found it necessary like there was a Lux series book that followed suit similarly to layout what was happening properly. I found it satisfying overall and the ending was hinted at, but definitely a good twist.

Holy alien babies everywhere! The Origin series is back to mess with your emotions and take you on an absolutely wild ride.
Luc and Evie are back, picking up right where we left off. Evie is a bit of a mess, not really knowing what’s going on with her life. Luc is a mess, having just found out that the most evil person to cross his life is back. Despite all of the turmoil surrounding Luc and Evie, their love story is still going strong. Luc is always there to catch Evie when she falls, no matter how hard that fall is.
The plot of the Origin series thickened at the end of the second novel, The Burning Shadow, when Luc, Evie, and crew ended up in Zone 3, which used to be Texas before the fall out of the Lux series. Now that the crew are deep into Zone 3, some of those familiar characters are back and I was definitely swooning over Daemon and Katy all over again.
Throughout the book, Evie learned how to embrace her powers and really comes into her own as a strong independent character, and we love that for her. She was truly the star and overcame so many unexpected struggles. Though these were definitely alien struggles and not something anyone would ever face, it was so relatable. Some times I just wanted to scream that life was just so unfair to Evie, but she just kept killing it, and who doesn’t love that?
While the plot focuses on Evie and Luc and not much else, there are so many characters swirling around them and in and out of their story, that it never felt lonely or centered. Life and living life was such a focus of this story.
It did feel a bit too real at moments, given that the virus in the story spread like a pandemic and cities were shutting down and quarantined. It was a definite instance of life and literature being too in line. As shocking as that was to see on page, it worked so well for the story and it didn’t feel weird or awkward. It almost made it easier to feel like you are one of the characters walking in and out of Luc and Evie’s everyday life.
One thing that JLA really kills at is twist endings. The end of this book didn’t feel like a cliffhanger, but it hurt to close the book. There are so many unfinished stories right now and it’s such a dark place for Luc and Evie. I absolutely cannot believe that I have to wait a whole year to hear what happens next.
