My notes for this one just read "Ugh. Trollop. The sexism is not fun." which I feel I should elaborate on here, but that sort of sums it up nicely. 'Trollop' being the female version of 'Troll' is funny to a very specific subsection of the human race, one to which I do not belong. Tanda was not the only issue; the characterisation of Massha as a grotesque sexual predator was also a slap in the face. There was also a plot, more or less, but that's less relevant.

I didn't really truly get pulled into this book until the end. Part of that may be that I had not read the previous novels. It does have some good parts. And I came to like all the characters as well.

I just didn't get into this one! Which is frustrating, considering my enjoyment for the previous two. I found myself skimming much of the story, especially when it came to the game. The lack of Tanda was disappointing. I felt that Skeeve moved out of "cutely dimwitted" into "intolerably whiny". Hoping the next one will click better with me.

Просто книга из серии, но вполне качественно написанная.
Безусловно подростковая, но как раз то что мне сейчас надо, как средство разгрузить голову и отдохнуть.
Английский очень простой, но было несколько фраз, которые оказалось очень непросто понять - разговорная форма речи.

The adventure continues. This time with old friends forming new alliances to play in a rough football-ish game!

So I jumped into the third adventure of the Myth series as I needed something short to wash my brain out.
As I enjoyed the first two books in the series, i very much hoped that this one would also be a fun, light ride. And, thankfully, i was not disappointed.
The same characters are back from the first two as this time they have to play a sport game to win a trophy and save their friend. It's silly yes, but so is this whole series. It's not a very heavy series by any stretch of the imagination.
The prose is exactly the same as the previous two. There's enough description to let you know what's going on, but trusts that you have enough imagination to get a picture in your mind's eye what the location looks like.
Aahz and Skeeve are cool like usual, but it was nice to see that Skeeve saw the other side of Tanda, (the girl he kind of liked) to realize that despite being pretty, she's not the greatest person, and really not dating material. This was a nice little extra thing they gave it as any other series would have immediately put him together with this girl.
Pretty much the only issue i had was that the epilogue was INCREDIBLY short. these books are like that friend who when you go out to dinner, leaves before everyone orders dessert saying they have something to do. Yet they keep coming back for the dinner every time you invite them. They're pleasant, but they're there for a good time, not a long time. There were literally 3 pages to go and i was like "the book hasn't even finished a climax yet how are they going to wrap this up?" and the answer was "barely".
All in all though, solid entry in the series, and i will definitely be reading the next one. straight 4 out of 5.
