carolinanavas's review against another edition
4.0
Right after I finished Freewill, I immediately wanted to begin reading Consequences because of the amazing story line and literal techniques Elyse used to lure the readers in. This was one thing that I was really happy about - I hate reading an AWESOME book and having to wait until the next is released, BUT i got to read this one right away ( thanks to Elyse (: ) which was great. I found that this one was a little bit of a slower read, but maybe that's because of everything that happened that it was just too much to process at once ( in a good way though, don't let this discourage you! )
Now I don't want to reveal anything because I don't want to spoil this series for anyone interested in reading (I 100% recommend it) so I'm going to leave it spoiler-free but still tell you what I enjoyed!
First of all, I liked what direction the series was headed in, even before reading this second instalment. The story line is so unique and I loved how Elyse was able to incorporate so many different world cultures/history/mythology into her writing - Artemis is a great example of this - she's pretty darn awesome.
PS. To add a little side note, I loved the title of this novel, all three in fact actually. There are so many interpretations of the title that readers can come up with and I really enjoyed having that freedom. You don't get that a lot nowadays..
In the first book, a lot of the questions that I pondered about - to myself of course - while reading were answered, but not all of them. When I continued onto reading this one, they were thankfully answered, but more questions also came into mind. This made the book all the more interesting!
Of course, as I mentioned, the story line is so unique which makes the readers even more involved. AWESOMENESS! :)
ANYWHO..
I 100% recommend this series, so give it a shot! Nothing's holding you back :)
(Thanks to Elyse Draper for providing me with this entire series)

ampiv's review
3.0
*I received this e-book through We Heart YA Books!*
So I was a little disappointed with this book. I was completely in love with the first book in this series but this sequel fell flat for me. It seemed more slow paced and there wasn't a lot of dialogue but there was a lot of reflection especially by Michael. I assume she did this to reflect Michael's character but it got a little tiring after a while. The saving grace in this book was actually the characters. The authors writes her characters so flawlessly that you as the reader have to fall in love with them. I loved Cassandra (especially her very interesting back story), Michael was a another great character, Artemis was a great addition, and I even liked Dimitris. The ending was a little predictable especially since Artemis was so against Ellie, but that was an excellent twist all the same. I can't wait to see what really happened to Ellie in the third book! Even though this book didn't live up to my expectations coming away from the first I would still recommend it to anyone. The plot remains interesting and with the cliffhanger at the end, I can't wait to read the third in the series.
