Review: The Lost Hero


The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1)The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A popular book on my friends "currently" or "to read" list... I've run out of other books for the moment. Not the biggest Riordan fan but I'll give it a shot.

Okay. Pleasantly surprised. Super-fast read (like most of Riordan's books). Good story. My only complaint is that it feels like a reset of the Percy Jackson series. But seeing as I'm not really a fan of the Red Pyramid series, I guess I should be okay with that. Four stars.

Review: A World Without Heroes


A World Without Heroes (Beyonders, #1)A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I wish I could give it 3.5 stars. I don't really like the way it ended. I get that it is a trilogy though. Typical Brandon Mull page-turner. I couldn't put it down. And as much as I complain about the ending, I can't wait for the next book to come out (to find out what happens), so maybe Mr. Mull is more clever with his endings than I give him credit for.
