Broken by Daylight isn't as bad as the third book, not as heartbreaking as the second, and not nearly as enthralling as the first. As the series progresses, it feels like each installment gets flatter, and this one seems like a desperate attempt to reignite interest. But instead of rejuvenating the series, it does too much, leaving readers spinning and exhausted.
We're all over the placeโjumping across locations and scattered plots, trying to follow a convoluted storyline. The introduction of the new โbig bad,โ suddenly the real threat after four books battling another antagonist, feels like a rushed pivot that derails the overarching narrative rather than deepening it. It's disorienting and diminishes the stakes built up across the series.
What's more exhausting is the endless cliffhangers. Every book in the series ends on one, leading to adrenaline fatigue. When nearly every POV switch also drops a mini-cliffhanger, it stops being suspenseful and just becomes tiresome. Broken by Daylight tries to do it all, but in the process, it loses the focus and pacing that made the earlier books work.
