review 1: This was a nice read.I really liked the word building, it was intriguing and with some interesting views on good and bad. The descriptions were all very vivid and I could picture the world easily.The story was pretty decent as well and had me curious where everything would lead.What this story lacked for me however was true emotion.I never connected with Ayla or her love interest. And to me their love/attraction felt forced and just on the surface. I couldn't believe they really needed each other. Their emotions, and those of most other characters, felt artificial and shallow. In fact I felt more connection with the bad guy and how he felt than with any other character in this book.So in the end this was a nice read that could have been more. I don't think I'll continue to... more read this series, but I might try something else by Armintrout.
review 2: The fantasy worlds of light and dark collide in Jennifer Armintrout's new series, Lightworld/Darkworld. In Queene of Light, readers are introduced to Ayla, a promising member of the Assassin's Guild, who is plagued by being half-Faery and half-Human. Ayla is stalked by a Death Angel named Malachi, who is tasked with harvesting human souls and later clashes with her in a clash of light and dark.Queene of Light is an interesting new fantasy novel set in a world of Faeries, magical creatures and other things that go bump in the night. Armintrout has woven a gritty, fascinating world where the forces of light and dark are physical forces and the tension between them is elevating. Her writing flows easily and keeps the plot moving, plus there are plenty of twists and turns as the characters start to learn the truth about the Lightworld and Darkworld.While a good story, the characters feel a little cardboard and just weren't compelling to me. I ended up reading to the end because I wanted to see more of the world and what would happen-not because I cared about what would happen to the characters. I haven't read any of Armintrout's novels before, so I'm not sure how this one compares, but I do see strong potential for future novels in the series. Armintrout's world is lush and filled with possibilities, but it just doesn't feel like she's quite there yet with Queene of Light.This is a good novel for fans of adult fantasy romance that are looking for a great new fantasy world and a fun, entertaining ride. less
