On Battle of the Labyrinth: Oh, Mr. Riordan, how I adore this series of yours! I do wish that Vera had half the personality that Percy does. Although Percy does seem a bit more confused and unlucky than my own dear girl.
The Battle of the Labyrinth, a Percy Jackson and the Olympians novel, is probably one of the best so far, even if I didn’t like Calypso’s role in the story. (I am a straightforward girl – I’m not as dumb as Percy, so I understood the same thing that Rachel did.) It was excellent, and the final twist made me almost gasp in surprise.
(I would have, were it up to me. But I didn’t want to ruin anything for my younger brother, who still hasn’t read the story yet.)
If you like middle-grade fantasy, or are interested in Greek Mythology, I definitely recommend that you get the Percy Jackson series from your nearest bookstore or library.
On Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox: NO! NO! Why are you doing this to me? Why must you torture my soul so?
Gah. First Mike and Bryan, now this! NO NO NO NO NO!
Please excute me for a quick tantrum.
Okay.
Now, I wasn’t much pleased that Minerva Paradizo didn’t make an appearance in The Time Paradox. If you know much about me and my particular fain-shipping, you’ll understand about my tantrum. Anyway, I just wasn’t pleased about that one part.
However, Artemis’ twin brothers, Beckett and Myles, are the most adorable little children ever. I especially love Myles – “Simple-toon” – and hope that Eoin Colfer does another Artemis Fowl book so that there’s more of Myles. He was just a hilarious character.
This novel was a bit off, though – Holly didn’t seem right. I really think there was something weird about her character this time!
Artemis himself was in top character-development form, though. I hope he learns his lesson after that stunt he pulled!
On BREAKING DAWN: Damn you, Wal-Mart. I can’t exactly buy two books in two days after I’ve already been banned from buying new books.
Ah, well. I’m 67th on the request list at the local library.
And I like The Host better, anyways.
