If you treat it as generic entertainment in the half-horror genre, knowing ahead of time it will be problematic, then you might be able to enjoy it… But if you’re a casual reader, or if you are expecting something original, logical and interesting here, maybe don’t. I would call for a redo of the second two books! But, since that’s never going to happen, I can’t really recommend this book series. ![]() Think of zombies plus vampires, plus just general scifi, sort of.) But the authors just failed to take it away after the first book, and I just simply can’t forgive the white misogyny. ![]() It was almost entertaining solely because of that!ĭespite its HUGE drawbacks, The Strain Series was a different, quite original and promising take on vampires (it treats vampires as biohazard, with almost no paranormal aspect.

Mostly interesting in the way The Strain series degrades as you go. ![]() ![]() ![]() I couldn't stop myself after I started reading. I’m just pointing out that it was very different and it took me by surprise. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that other than the destruction of my emotions, so I’m not complaining about the pacing. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SLEEP I LOST STRESSING ABOUT THIS? LITERALLY THE ENTIRE BOOK WAS A HUGE BATTLE AND IT HURT MY BRAIN CELL. What Tower of Nero did was it started the battle 30 PERCENT OF THE WAY IN. ![]() Generally, Rick Riordan’s books establish a journey and the obstacles that come with that journey, and then there’s a climactic battle scene near the end, which may or may not end in a cliffhanger (FUCK YOU MARK OF ATHENA). ![]() I was very surprised by the pacing of this book. I’M STILL NOT FUCKING OKAY OH MY GOD ASLFKJASLKDGJADSLKFJASDLKGJDASLKGJSDFJKL WHAT THE FUCK. I wasn’t nearly as invested in Trials of Apollo as I was in the Heroes of Olympus series, which remains my favorite out of Rick Riordan’s books.īut I read this book so fucking intensely. I’m going to be honest, I literally did not remember what happened in The Tyrant’s Tomb. Not kidding, I literally punched the sofa. This book made me ugly-cry, and laugh out loud, and scream when my parents weren’t home.

Dark, predatory, immortal Carpathian male that he was, he had not seen colors, only black and white, in more centuries than he could count. That he could tell her hair was red stunned him. Even in the night her red hair gleamed like flames. Then she turned slightly, and he could see high, firm breasts thrusting against the thin cotton top beneath the bib of her overalls. Her face was grimy, smudged with oil and dirt. At first he was certain she was, at most, a teenager, dressed in baggy overalls, her wealth of red-gold hair pulled back into a ponytail. ![]() ![]() Flashlight and wrench in hand, she was crawling out from under the troupe's huge touring bus when he first caught sight of her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute.
