That ending was simply CRUEL. Why do you do that, Jennifer?

I love Lux series, it has the most innovative, and entertaining world building but this review is not going to be fangirling type because I had some issues with Opal (namely Katy). It is a good book, and if you follow this series, then it is a must read, but unfortunately, it is not as good, and exciting as Onyx. The second book in the series, as you're already familiar with, was full of surprises, there was always something happening on every other page, and compared to that, Opal was a bit slow, and uninteresting, especially the second half.

I still loved Opal just because it has Dawson in it, and I'm totally a Dawson fan, been one since I read Shadows. He is the charming, and loving one, but in Opal we see a different side to him which was expected given the harsh treatment he went through past year. Before reading this book, I was scared that he would be broken mentally or something, but I was so happy that he was not. He just need a little time and space to get used to everything; he's not the old Dawson, but I still love the new one, and Oh. My. Gosh, the ending was just perfect for him. He got what he wanted, and I was screaming & dancing reading that part. I love Dawson & Bethany, and if you're their fan, then you will be happy at the end.

Opal is the steamiest book in the Lux series, and there were some scenes where I was simply shocked that it was happening in a YA book. Nothing too graphic, obviously, but I do tend to use my over imagination (*wink*). Daemon was his best in this book, very romantic and caring. Don't worry, he is still a tease, and egoistical as before. As for Katy, I've always liked her for how strong, and stubborn she was, but in Opal she seemed very unlikable. She acted a certain way that annoyed me, and kept unnecessary secrets that put others in danger. I just hope Katy is better in Origin.

Overall, I'm so happy to have read Opal. The first half of the book will have you gripping the edges of your seats, and flipping pages with Luxen speed just to see what happens next. It is that exciting, but then once you hit the halfway mark, things might get a little slow with the story-developing side, and focus more on the romantic aspect, which was still good. Most of you might disagree with me, but I just wasn't invested in most part of the story. I still don't know why because I've loved & 5 stared every JLA book, but Opal wasn't the best. My advice: Read it for Dawson. Do it! You will not be disappointed.

PS: There is a new character who kind of young, but I still have my eyes on him. He's Special, and I like Special. ...more

I love the Lux series. By the end of this book I thought I was going to cry I wanted to keep reading so badly. I can't wait for the next one. Daemon and Katy just keep getting better and better. In this book we get to see the two of them really commit one hundred percent to one another, and it's great to see how their relationship develops and how well they both know one another. Everyone is still dealing with the loss ...more

Thank god that's over! I really didn't enjoy this book & I hate that I didn't enjoy it because the first two blew me away! I couldn't put them down but this one just took too long to finish! It was lacking that special something that the other two had. Lack of wit? Humour? I don't know but it just wasn't the same. The story seemed a bit repetitive and felt like it dragged on longer than necessary. I did still enjoy the Daemon & Katy bits but missed their personalities from the previous books. I' ...more
