Gregor returns to the Underland to find that his bond-bat and other friends have fallen to a mysterious plague...and it's up to Gregor and a band of rats, humans, and a lizard to find the cure. Gregor's mom goes to the Underland with him for the first time - only to contract the deadly virus herself.
The third in this series continues with Gregor facing more dire situations and dangerous missions. His motivations are always more than understandable - but what I find the most moving is how tough Gregor's life is in the Overland. His family struggles to make ends meet day to day and then when Gregor goes underground he is hailed as a hero and treated like almost royalty.

Wow, things are getting darker in this series... Maybe it seems darker than in the Hunger Games because we've gotten to know the Underland better than the Districts. Or maybe because people are dying, oft times horrifically. Maybe it's both.
I did think at the beginning of the book "another book, yet another prophecy to fulfil" and settled down for the same sort of formula like the previous 2 books, but the story turned out to be way more than that.
I think the drama got a bit much near the end for me so I had to take a little break before immersing myself back into the story.

This series never ceases to amaze me. I absolutely adore it! =] "Curse of the Warmbloods" was extremely good. I was so happy when Luxa showed back up! Yes!

It was really good with a surprising twist at the end.

I enjoyed this book very much! My favorite in the series so far. Collins adds more sophisticated puzzles and motivation in this book. I like how the characters progress, and how the story requires more consideration by the reader. Highly recommended!

Honestly, this book was pretty lame compared to the other two books before it. I liked the first book the best, obviously, and this one was 100% underwhelming. It was super fun to see the characters and all and even meet new ones like Hazard and Hamnet, but it just wasn’t the same. It felt rushed, like the plot was made up on the spot and thrown in because why not? Obviously, I still love the Gregor books and I’ll continue to read them, but out of all the books I’ve read so far, this is definitely my least favorite entirely because of the lame prophecy and plot.

Another great installment to this series. I've said before that they are very different series, but even so, there's a lot of similarities that can be inferred between Suzanne Collins' much more famous Hunger Games Trilogy and her Underland Chronicles. I love finding similar themes and characters within this rich new story. Looking forward to the next!
