The Shadows by Alex North

dark mysterious reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

i read the whisper man a few months before reading this one and i ultimately liked this one much better. i didn't find this story as predictable and i was much more intrigued by the story and mystery. both books are set in the same universe but this one isn't a direct sequel - you can read them each independently of one another. the lucid dreaming bits were interesting and the twists were decent but not amazing. i liked the flashes to the past that piece the whole puzzle together gradually throughout the book, but also felt that some of it was slower-paced than i would have liked.
