Librarian: Okay Teen/School librarians listen up, if you've got girls in your library who grab all the fantasy romances and the dystopia romances and the science fiction romances and then come to the desk to chat about how sexy The Darkling/Edward Cullen/Gale/Jace is (and I know you do, we've all got 'em) than grab up this book. Because those girls are going to be all over this one. Seriously, Luc is JUST the kind of dark/edgy/sexy/heart-of-gold guy that those girls love to read about. Plus, this book actually has a good story, so unlike, say, Twilight, you won't mind discussing it for hours on end. (Always a bonus.)
Reader: I never read the Lux novels, though now I kind of feel like I have to. While this book does a good job filling in the blanks, so it doesn't feel like your missing large chunks of the plot, but I still felt like there were somethings that I would understand better if I read those. Still, I really enjoyed the book, and I'm definitely picking up the next one.
