Angel Eye by Madeleine Nakamura
3.0

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Madeleine Nakamura is very consistent with the conciseness of her writing. Adrian is just as heartbreaking in Angel Eye as in The Cursebreakers. I’m glad that Nakamura spent more time exploring all sorts of relationships for Adrian, but I do wish more time was spent world building and expanding the magic system, as well as giving Malise and Gennady more of an arc, rather than focusing so much on new characters. I think that the plot lacked tension, the antagonist was given away too early and I didn’t really feel any sort of stakes throughout.
