But at the same time I thought that it was fairly accurate as to how a lot of young girls think and she did have others planting seeds of doubt in her head. <br /><br />Parts of it moved me to tears. I can't wait for the third installment.

The fact that it's not very close to the actual Greek mythology is a little upsetting, but I still think I'm going to try this series out. <br /><br />I don't like weak characters either. Sorry Kate kind of regressed. Hopefully you'll like the next installment more!

Kate annoyed me because she seemed so...dense, I guess. And then to go off with James as "friends" seemed a little fishy. Still, I'm intrigued enough to read GI, despite a weaker Kate. Sophomore novels in a series can be hits or misses--maybe this will be a hit for me? One can hope (esp. since I adore mythology of all kinds!).Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-19468822246454026252012-03-01T12:44:40.160-05:002012-03-01T12:44:40.160-05:00Yah, I haven't read the first in the series, b...Yah, I haven't read the first in the series, but while I enjoy mythology, they've been kind of hit or miss books for me. This one sounds like a bit of a let down, but I've kind of noticed that happens to 2nd books in a YA series. Not that it's a rule, but sometimes I think the waiting makes it happen...that and the storyline. Anyway, excellent review. I don't know if I'll ever get to this series, though.

I supported her in the beginning because I would have reacted the same way she did, with self doubt, but by the middle I was getting frustrated with both of them:) Still enjoyed it overall though!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.com
