Community Reviews
Readers find 'Lux' a compelling blend of ecological themes and suspenseful storytelling, with a mix of admiration for its imaginative plot and attachment to its well-developed characters. While some praise the novel for its deep, thought-provoking narrative and its fresh take away from the author's usual style, others feel it starts slow and can be preachy about ecological issues. The ending leaves room for personal interpretation, adding a unique twist that has been both celebrated and critiqued.
👍 Imaginative plot with a thought-provoking ending.
👎 Some find the ecological preaching excessive.
