Page 333/427, so I'm definitely finishing tomorrow. It's good! (view spoiler)[Seth's just stolen the staff. (hide spoiler)]

I marked this as finished even though it isn't just yet XD I had to complete a challenge before I left to go to the airport for Hawaii, and I haven't finished. Just keep that quiet haha. No idea when I'll write my review haha. Got like 40 pages left. Going to try get it finished now.

Alright review writing time.

I liked this book just as much as the first one, maybe even a little more because it featured Kendra being daring, while Seth's forced to be cautious due to (view spoiler)[Olloch the Glutton trying to eat him. (hide spoiler)] I'm pleased that Kendra is shown more in this one because it develops her character, and while it doesn't change her completely, it opens her up a little more to the audience. I love her involvement with Warren in this book, it was really cool and sweet :) He's becoming more of a main character which was nice, and I loved the scene when (view spoiler)[Dale and Warren reunited :) (hide spoiler)]

I dislike how Seth still hasn't learn his lesson. (view spoiler)[I mean, with the batteries and the satyrs, and then going into the grove with Coulter! He still disobeys orders! Quite pleased that he gets punished for it though. (hide spoiler)]

The whole thing with the traitor was really surprising. I assumed it was (view spoiler)[Dale (hide spoiler)], not sure why, and when it was (view spoiler)[Vanessa I was shocked! (hide spoiler)] And that ending! I mean, what? I'm kinda confused with it, but it's a total cliffhanger for the next book! I was a little puzzled how come the (view spoiler)[Sphinx was so fully on their side, (hide spoiler)] and I questioned it during my buddy read I think, and now I know... It's because (view spoiler)[he isn't really (well according to Vanessa anyway... Not sure how to take her letter..) (hide spoiler)] I like how Kendra questions herself about it too, and how she tries to reassure herself that she isn't like Seth when she does it :p

Also loved the bit with the growing cat! :o

When do you want to start the third one?

[★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes]

Anytime you want! I have it as an ebook from the library :)

[Maddie]

Alright. Hhhmm that's tricky. I've got a book now, on the 2nd, 7th, 12th, 15th and 22nd, so they're nicely spread out for now. Maybe we could do between 15th and 22nd?

[★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes]

I think I can do between the 15th and 22nd! Sorry, the notification for your comment got lost. Want to say the 18th? You've got yourself quite booked up, huh!

[Maddie]

sure 18th works :)

and yeah I do haha. I'm just starting now the book I was meant to start on the 2nd and it's quite a long one.
