Is The Lux Series Worth Reading?

As someone who works for the publisher of The Lux Series, I have a unique perspective to share about this intriguing sci-fi YA romance. Having read and enjoyed the first book, Obsidian, and currently delving into the second part, Onyx, I find myself bringing an internal seal of approval to this series. If you are a fan of the Twilight series or seek out engaging sci-fi romance stories, you might find The Lux Series captivating and worthwhile.

Full Disclosure: My Professional Alignment

It's essential to disclose that my current employment is with the publisher of these books. However, this didn't sway my view. Long before I was offered the job, I had already purchased Obsidian as a personal interest. I was so enamored with the publisher's selection that it influenced my decision to join their team. Therefore, any reviews I provide from this publisher are based on my personal tastes and reading experience.

A Sci-Fi YA Romance for You

The Lux series captures a unique plotline—alien romance meets human with a touch of advanced technology. If the idea of a young adult romance mixed with sci-fi elements excites you on par with the first book in the Twilight series, you are likely to enjoy this series. The interplay of a human and an alien falling for each other, intertwined with elements of science fiction, creates a compelling narrative that many young adults and fans of the genre will appreciate.

Additionally, the series has an exciting sixth book, Oblivion, which is a stand-alone story told from the hero's perspective. This unique viewpoint not only adds another layer to the original story but also creates a thrilling juxtaposition of perspectives, drawing another layer of depth to the narrative.

Dealing with Clichés and Potential

It’s important to note that the writing style in The Lux series has been described by some as cliché. However, my personal reading experience suggests that the potential of the storyline might outweigh these perceived shortcomings. If the Goodreads reviews are any indicator, there is room for interpretation and appreciation. I encourage you to consider whether the storyline has enough potential to draw you in, and if so, don't hesitate to dive into the series.

For now, my focus is on finishing the current book while navigating the demands of college work. Should you choose to read the series, I would love to hear your thoughts. Share your experiences, reviews, and what you think about the narrative and character development. Happy reading!

Warm regards,
