Looks Over by Rose Christo is the second book in the Gives Light series. I loved the first book. I found it to be an amazing YA book. This one was up there with one of my favourites as well as the first. The series is amazing. I fell in love with the characters and the story. It's an amazing series. The more of the books I read the more I fall in love and the more I want to read.Skylar is still an amazing character. I really, really felt sorry for him again. He found out so much about his past in this one and it broke my heart to read about him suffering so much in this. He did not need any of the heartbreaking events that happened. I could see him grow as a character during this book.Rafael is still such a sweet character. I do not like the way most people treat him. He never deserved the treatment he gets. I wanted to punch those people in the face when they glare at him or actually say something. His support of Skylar makes me smile. His ability to know what Skylar is trying to say amazes me.The relationship is still strong in this book. We had the pleasure of seeing their first I LOVE YOU "on screen" as they say and that was something I was grateful for. Sometimes books like these let me down when it comes to the crunch and the way it was said was just typical for the series and I was dancing when it happened.There was a touch more humor in this book and it wasn't as tragic as the others. Although we did get farther in the story, it was a nice way everything was wrapped together. Seeing more of Skylar's father was nice in itself. Even during the one scene where I could have punched something for the way everything was revealed.Must read series. This will always be a must read for me!
