This book is quite long and there are parts where there is nothing really happening. And then there are parts where a lot of things are happening and most of the time I was thinking, this book could have been a little shorter... ^^'
I did like the dark and twisted turn of Stephanie and how she is trying to justify herself.

Well first of all, I wanna say that I don't have a favourite book, or series but if I did.
This series would be my favourite (Along with pjo).
The writing is amazing, the dialogue is perfect.
The characters, and dynamics, the climaxes everything. This series is gold.
AND EVERY SINGLE LIVING BEING SHOULD READ THESE SERIES.

Used to read these as a kid/teen. Picking them up now as something comforting to read before bed. Not my favourite in the series, the narrative was a bit sporatic and seemed to lack the sense of direction I felt other books in the series had. Still some very fun moments and twists that provide pay off but also some aspects that felt quite corny. Landy has his long itinerary of characters down and the quick wit of the dialogue and intensity of the (more often than not excessively long) action scenes are still what make these books enjoyable. Overall some good highs, some lulls and some laughs.
