Dana’s Reviews > A Shift in Shadows > Status Update

I'm reading this book series so I can understand an ARC I have to read. And so far this has been the first one I've gone back and annotated previously read chapters and it's made me feel things. Not like sad things. Or emotional things. Just... THINGS.

Is this a contender for a 'books that broke me' shelf? Only time will tell.

It takes about 50% of the book and a full infodump for things to get interesting. And it went from "I'm visiting some friends and taking a nap" to "OH SHIT" fast. Loved this halfway reveal. I just wish the setup was less of a "I'm going to visit Jack, Sally, Annie and Joe" and more of a... setup.

Funny thing about this book is until I saw the alternate cover on goodreads, I had NO idea who the main character was. Were they male? female? Non binary? No clue.

I suppose I should read blurbs more, rather than just "Oh I need to read this before my ARC. K.". Huh...
