This was a rollercoaster of a book and I really enjoyed following the story of Lilly, Will and the gang, taking off from where the first book ended.

Lilly is coming to grips with the poison taking over her body and what this means for the future - both personally, but also for humankind. She's desperately seeking a way to heal herself while also continuing the search for the Emanations to rid the world of Noxohit.

As with the first book, there's a lot of world-building - I thoroughly enjoyed it! Getting to learn new places and new creatures, as well as new people. You can tell a lot of time has gone into creating these worlds and its inhabitants.

Lilly and Will are inseparable but their inability to be intimate without removing Will's powers takes its toll, not to mention our boy, Will, continues to be over-protective and hides things from Lilly. Cue, love triangle! Faolan, the enigmatic, powerful and charming daoshee elder takes Lilly under his wing (ha!) as an apprentice. I won't give any spoilers, but the ending is very open in terms of where the triangle will end up. I'm personally of the opinion - why choose? 😅

I know Metro changed the writing from being past tense to present, and I actually really enjoyed this change. I felt much more immersed in the story!

I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for a true fantasy with plenty of world and character building.

Luminkferos : The Darkness within is the stunning second installment to the Luminiferos series that is a bright and rich sorl of magic and daggers.

This book was slow-paced compared to the first book but packed with adventure. The descriptions here were so vivid I could practically envision the story in my mind as I read. There's strong character development and rich world of fanatsy that would draw the readers to this world.

This book is a captivating second instalment in the Luminiferos series that brings readers back to the richly imagined world filled with magic, danger, and intriguing characters. The story's pace is well-balanced, and the author's vivid descriptions bring the wold to life. This books strong character development, engaging story, and twists and turns will keep the reader sucked in and coming back for more. overall, it's a solid read that will appeal to fans of fantasy and romance.

This was a OK book! Lots of adventure, it was kinda slow placed and a little all over the place. You could tell the writer was excited to tell the story.
