A review by alexk02
Touching Darkness, by Scott Westerfeld

4.0

One thing that really has bothered me about this series so far is that we aren’t getting enough of the “extras”. The things that aren’t the direct plot, like characters and how they appear & such, world building, character building. I want to know more about the families of the midnighters. Like, what happened to Rex’s dad, what did they do to him? What about Melissa and her parents? I just want to know more.


Overall though the book was good, a LOT better than the first one. For some reason, despite the corny nature of it, the ending sentence just made my heart so happy. It just was a great great ending.

Also, the whole Melissa and Rex thing though to me is completely overrated and stupid and tbh I don’t like them together and them kissing just kind of ruined that for me.
