[MY THOUGHTS]
3.75 out of 5 stars
I loved the idea of Midnight Divine. Angels vs demons. Light vs dark. This book had a lot of good elements, and for the most part I was engaged.
I just had a difficult time connecting to Ivy. She's selfish, reckless, and childish. Common sense does not exist in her head.
And it also felt like the world revolved around her 24/7. She's special... I got it.
Another thing that bothered me was her 'signature move.' Headbutting enemies is a poor signature move. A signature move is Xena with her chakram. Wonder Woman with her golden lasso.
This book also connected sai with Egypt... but I'm pretty sure the weapons have a stronger historical connection to Japan.... or Ninja Turtles.
Am I interested in continuing this series? My answer is.... yes. I am curious to see where this will go. Hopefully the characters are more developed in the next book.
