'Alight' is the second book in the Pyxis series, which follows the main character, Corinne, as she continues to learn about her role as the Pyxis and what her abilities are. When Corinne finally learns the identity of the second Guardian, she has to figure out a way to play nice or risk everything. While she's trying to make peace, her nemesis unleashes a horrible illness against Corinne's friends. Unable to cope, she flees to the dream world where she meets Zane, who changes her life forever. Will Corinne be able to win the fight for everything she loves?This is an interesting and unique young adult fantasy novel that gives a fresh twist to the genre. It's fast paced and full of action, which makes it a quick read. The characters were interesting but lacked any real personality. They were still easy to identify with, just not on a deeper level. The plot was intriguing and I loved the history and backstory of the Pyxis and everything surrounding it. The action and adventure were well done and the romance wasn't overwhelming the the main plot. Overall, this was a fun book to read and a great second book in the series.Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
