Excellent conclusion and the realisation of so much hard work in the previous 2 books. Excitement abounds as the story moves between siege and political manoeuvring in the capital and good old fashioned, sword swinging savage battle in the North as Logen looks to teach the king of the north a lesson.
The endings of each of the main characters are a little bitter-sweet as some much loved characters die, some are presumed dead and others end up miserable in a job they didn't want with next to no power/control.
Excellent story telling and world building and setting up the three follow on standalone books set in the same world.

I didn't realise this was a sequel so I read this as a standalone so through alot of it I felt as if I'd missed something. The story was good, a bit choppy in places and hard to keep track what days they are in but I do think that's because the author may have assumed I'd read the previous in the series so I didn't get the character build up, didn't get the characters personality so whilst I'm trying to connect the dots they were off doing something else and I felt slightly disjointed because of it.
But despite that, I really enjoyed it and will look out for the others.

Directing is great, interpersonal relationships among the characters is top notch. (0 more)
Too pointed at times and much of the story has to do with at the moment in history. Perhaps will age like wine. (0 more)
Great film, better when it came out
Well acted, well directed, well shot and well written. The story itself leaves a little to be desired as it is too singular. I say that knowing it qom the Osacr for best screenplay. And to restate, it was VERY well written, but if the war wasnt ai fresh, it would have never won the Oscar.
But, as a standalone piece, not tied to a specific war, its overall well done.

A new book in the ever magnificent Lux universe. The Darkest Star brings new light to the world while standing on its own as a magnificent book. The plot focuses on both tragic love but equally on just what are Luxon and are they truly the most dangerous aliens out there.
Evie and Luc bring banter, tension, and laughs as they spend more time together and learn exactly who they could be together.
I absolutely adore this book and am excited that it can be read as a standalone and not as a continuation of the orignial series. If you haven't read Lux it is ok, you will still enjoy this book!

I really expected to like this book, but it didn't really live up to my expectations. Plot is aristocratic family, land rich and cash poor and what are they going to do about it. Nothing really new there either. Some other reviewers have seen this as a brilliant satire, but I'm afraid for me it was just a novel with lots of characters, many very undeveloped and most of them not even very likeable.

It is supposed to be the first part of Weldon's Love & Inheritance trilogy, but a lot of lose ends are tied up and this could really be a standalone novel. Certainly I'm far from feeling the compulsion to read the next two volumes.
