How I Got It: Gift
So, I thought I already wrote this review. Come to find
out I didn’t so I’ve forgotten a lot of things. Overall, I enjoyed this book
and thought it was a decent conclusion. I do have some issues, but they aren’t
new.
My biggest problem is that there are too many characters.
There’s already seven main characters, but then Nico and Reyna are added to the
mix. I liked them as characters, but by giving them more time other characters
got pushed aside. I feel like Frank and Hazel especially never get to be true
main characters with real development.
But I am satisfied with how the plot was resolved. Rick
Riordan does a good job of constantly throwing stuff at me so I don’t know how
to fix everything. And I thought the stakes were appropriately high. I know
some people think the ending is a little unresolved, but I feel like that’s
what makes it work.
This is kind of unrelated, but I feel like sharing. I’m
not sure if I’ll ever read the Kane chronicles, but I do plan on reading the
Norse gods books. My plan is to read them after at least a few have been
published, because Rick Riordan is not afraid of the heart-breaking
cliffhangers.
Thanks for reading!
