The Shadow Hour
The Shadow Hour | Melissa Grey
The much-anticipated sequel to the book Danielle Page, author of Dorothy Must Die, says is "inventive, gorgeous, and epic--Grey dazzles." Everything in Echo's life changed in a blinding flash when she learned the startling truth: she is the firebird, the creature of light that is said to bring peace. The firebird has come into the world, but it has not come alone. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and Echo can feel a great and terrible darkness rising in the distance. Cosmic forces threaten to tear the world apart. Echo has already lost her home, her family, and her boyfriend. Now, as the firebird, her path is filled with even greater dangers than the ones she's already overcome. She knows the Dragon Prince will not fall without a fight. Echo must decide: can she wield the power of her true nature--or will it prove too strong for her, and burn what's left of her world to the ground? Welcome to the shadow hour. Praise for The Girl at Midnight, Book One in the Series [STAR] "Sparks fly. . . . Will please fans of Cassandra Clare and Game of Thrones watchers with its remarkable world building; richly developed characters; and themes of family, power, loyalty, and romance. . . . [Book 2] cannot come soon enough!" --Booklist, Starred [STAR] "[The] perfect blend of action and amour." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred "A feisty heroine, fun supporting characters, a mission to save the world, and some seriously spicy romance." --SLJ "Catnip for fans of Cassandra Clare." --BookPage.com "Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of laughs." --Nerdist.com "Enthralling and pure magic, Grey's debut is delightful!" --Romantic Times "A page-turner--I was hooked from start to finish." --Latina Magazine "Sharp drama that leads to a conclusion begging for a sequel." --The Bulletin "A must-read." --Paste magazine "Inventive, gorgeous, and epic--Grey dazzles in her debut."-- Danielle Paige, New York Times bestselling author of Dorothy Must Die "A stunning debut. Equal parts atmosphere and adventure, Melissa Grey's The Girl at Midnight is positively divine." --Victoria Schwab, author of A Darker Shade of Magic

These books aren't my favorite in the world but I do really like all the characters. The story is so original which keeps it interesting too. I'll definitely get the last in the series to finish it.

How many books did you read? Pages? 2 books
Will you participate in a future 24in48 readathon? YES

My boyfriend came home from a trip and listening to his trip kind of derailed me from reading all I wanted to!

Day 1 ended at 14.5 hrs read. I can chalk up some of my wandering mind to fatigue but I do think this book comes at a slower pace compared to The Girl at Midnight. Much quieter, the plot drifts in places, and there's a rather tedious love triangle. Yet, I still love this world, the lore, and the characters. Once the plot gets moving the story takes you on a wild ride setting up what's sure to be an exciting conclusion to the series. #24in48

A war between ancient races descended from birds and dragons. Who will win? I suspect we'll have to wait until book three is released in a year to find out. 😉

Currently listening to this on audio!

Oh man what an intense follow-up to The Girl at Midnight. Totally different in tone, but necessarily so. I imagine the final installment will be just as intense, and I so want it right now.

"...the world is changing, and we either change with it or we perish."

Timely, important, and a theme I've seen repeated in a lot of literature I've read this year.

Good stuff
