- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The best so far! Now I'm really interested in what's happening! I'm skeptical when I read books so the crazy adventures were a little unbelievable to me and it took me a while to accept the setting. I know most books are set in made up places and have made up adventures, but I have a hard time putting myself there because I'm such a realist. And that would explain my choice in books. But now I'm invested and can't wait to see what is going to happen to Cal, his friends, and his family!

I love this action-packed adventure story! The characters are so full of life, the plot keeps me guessing, and I'm so intrigued by the mystery of the Ormond singularity!
Cal is a character who grows and changes, makes mistakes and learns his lesson, and ultimately is just a normal guy pressed into extraordinary circumstances. I love that in this book we see more and more of his good heart. His concern for his sister and mom, his trusting attitude, and his compassion for those less fortunate than him, all point to his kind nature. He's ready to suffer personal torment and sacrifice for those around him. I'm so impressed with his character!
The banter between Cal and his best friend, Boges, is hilarious in this third book, and I especially was interested to see the interaction between Winter and Boges. The snark is high, and we get to see Cal being a normal teenager in a weird social situation.
There is a scene with snakes that I had to skim over, because I'm afraid of snakes. Let's hope there are no more snakes in the rest of the series. Ugh.
Loving these books, and I can't wait to read the rest of them!

Net als de andere boeken. Soms wat kunstmatige spanning, een cliffhanger op het einde, maar ik weet zeker dat hij overleeft want er zijn nog meer boeken in de serie. Ga wel verder lezen, maar 1 per maand is genoeg :P

Some of the escapes are becoming more and more far fetched, but thus far, I'm still interested in seeing how it'll end.
