Shadowlark by Meagan Spooner
3.0
I have many points why this book is not as good as the first volume. Basically all aspects got worse. The atmosphere was not as good as in the first volume. Lark herself was now ... a bit strange? I liked her more in the first volume. And I didn't like the setting. It wasn't really my thing, or rather the author couldn't really draw me into this setting. Also we didn't really get any information about the world and what the hell is happening there. Nothing. You knew the plot of the book from the beginning and it was super annoying that our actually smart protagonist didn't even consider it. So there wasn't even really any plot development.
But I have to say, the beginning was the best beginning of a Young Adult book I've ever read. It was soooo awesome and I was really looking forward to this book. The whole middle part of the book wasn't really for me. And the ending was good again.
I have hope that the last volume will be good again! Depending on the third book, I might change my opinion (and rating) for this book.
-------
Update: I'm changing the rating from 4 to 3 stars. I read the last volume and it's better, but it's not really thatoo good for four stars. Now I see the book even worse than before. And you really don't miss much if you just skip this volume and read the third part straight away.
