A review by thekingcrusoe
Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods by Suzanne Collins

5.0

Up to this point the strongest and most impressive of the series, for a few reasons.

One: it has the most interesting plotline/prophecy. It's the least predictable, and has the biggest twist up to this point in the series, which made it a much more tense and wild ride (even as somebody who's the read the series multiple times).

Two: It some of the most exciting character interactions and dynamics in the series so far, including a handful of growth moments, especially for Gregor as he slowly continues to learn and understand more of the world around him.

Three: this book varies from the formula of the first two books the most. There are still familiar characters, obviously, but there are also elements to the inciting incident of the book, the type of urgency of the quest, and even the resolution that are clearly different than the way they were in the first two books.

Definitely excited to continue. I remember the 5th book being a favorite of mine for a lot of reasons, so I'm anxious to get to that point.
