katinaroberts 's review for:
Dreamless. Nell'aldilà ogni notte è per sempre
by Josephine Angelini
This is the second book in the Starcrossed Trilogy. Sometimes 2nd books are place holders until the author gets around to writing the third, but I didn't find that that was the case with this book. Angelini didn't waste much time re-hashing the first book (I hate when authors do that), and got right to the second installment of her story, a loose following of the Greek Mythology of Paris and Helen of Troy.
In this book, Helen learns more about her Demi-God powers and we also meet a new character, Orion, another dreamy boy for Helen to distract herself with. :) In my opinion, this part of YA fiction gets old. I guess it isn't just YA fiction that has this problem, but I can't figure out who in the world can relate to women who are torn between two juicy lovers? Does that ever really happen in real life? Most likely, no. So why do authors consistently feel the need to use this plot device? I just don't get it. I don't usually mind reading it, I just think it is too overused to feel original to me. But I digress...
I like the pace of this story, the plot moved along at a good pace. I still liked the characters. I would still recommend this series, although I think I liked the first book better. It was a fun read.
