There is a vastly different feel between Opposition and its preceding book Origin, its desperation and urgency unlike before. The first hundred or so pages can have you feeling pretty hopeless and almost as heartbroken as some of the characters. And once the first set of conflicts work themselves out, it’s almost non stop action, lust, or strategizing. At times I felt like things were going a bit too fast, but maybe that is just because I was reading so fast because I was so very into the story. The conclusion is pleasant, perfect for people who love a happy ending, but it does leave you wishing that the author had given you a little bit more.
So if you do love the Lux series, and you are craving more, there is good news. There is an additional book written from the perspective of Daemon which takes place between Obsidian and Opal and I will definitely be reading this. I really enjoyed the joint perspective of Katy and Daemon in Origin and Opposition, which was both necessary and worked really well, in contrast to the first three books coming from only Katy’s point of view, so I would like to hear the story from the beginning from Daemon’s perspective. In addition to this, there is another novel about the Arum, and another series about the Origins. You can look forward to seeing several posts about these books from me sometime in the future.
