This time I am reviewing Their Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner.
Sofia Quinn lost her father a year ago and has been on the run ever since. She knows how to read people and has pulled off more than one successful con. Gideon Marchant is better known as his online hacking persona: The Knave of Hearts. When Gideon and Sofia find themselves close to being caught in LaRoux Industries (for different reasons), they end up needing each other to escape.
I loved this book so much! This is probably my favorite of this whole series because so much happens! All the players come back from the previous book and it's like one big amazing reunion (but it's not really a reunion for the characters who are all coincidentally tied together in many ways).
I could not get enough of the snippets between the chapters. Those passages kept building on each other. Each time I would be swept away by the beautiful writing. All of those pieces continually weaved into a stunning masterpiece and I was blow away. So many times I stopped and reread those paragraphs because they were so good.
I really enjoyed the pairing of Sofia and Gideon. Out of all they guys in this series, Gideon is probably my favorite. His sense of humor was great and I laughed so many times, but I also was drawn in by his goodness. He acted arrogant, but underneath he is a great guy. He's also quite intelligent and he sticks up for his friends.
Sofia was so much fun to read because she knew how to work people to get what she wanted. She really felt like the most flawed and damaged character in this whole series. Unlike everyone else, the pain she holds is fresh and she's still reeling from her father's death. Her journey throughout this book was amazing to witness because she grows so much. She starts out so hardened by the world and it's spectacular to see her change into something beautiful.
This book was the perfect end to this series and it made me finally come to terms with (and almost enjoy) what I didn't like in These Broken Stars. I never wanted this book to end, especially with the full cast from the series joining in.
My one complaint to this book is the resolution to the main conflict (not the ending). I didn't expect the end to come easily, but I thought it was a bit unnatural. The authors really made it into something beautiful, but it felt just a bit too simple.
The ending was great and perfect for this series. I really can't wait to see what these amazing writers will come up with next.
