 So Reign of Shadows was good, but not great. I was entertained and read through the story pretty quickly, but I didn't connect to it or love it as much as I hoped to. 
 I had two problems. Firstly, I didn't have any strong feelings towards Luna or Fowler, or their relationship in general. Their feelings for each other felt too strong, too fast. For someone who was so adamant about not attaching themselves to anyone, Fowler grew close with Luna pretty quickly. And Luna, not knowing anyone except for her two companions in the tower, fell hard for him which just felt weird to me. I mean it was going to be inevitable in a book like this, but he's one of the only people she's had more than a passing conversation with so it just felt a bit strange. 
 The second problem was (view spoiler)[Luna's blindness. It just felt like I had to suspend my disbelief SO much. I understand that because Luna couldn't see, her other senses would become somewhat stronger. But for her to be able to run around a forest, in completely new terrain, all by herself or without any help - NOPE. Instalove hit her pretty hard too, despite not being able to see. It baffled me. Always had that disbelief nagging in the back of my mind. And it bugged me to no end that she could always "feel" someone's gaze on her. It doesn't work like that. (hide spoiler)] 
 I did really enjoy the setting. Sophie Jordan did a great job describing a really creepy, dark world, filled with disturbing creatures called dwellers. The pace of the book moved along really well and I sped right through it - granted the book is only 300 pages. The ending finished on the biggest cliffhanger ever which is a pain but no doubt means I'll be back to see how the next installment in the series goes. Overall, a book that probably had more cons than pros for me, but I was entertained nonetheless.
