A review by ranforingus
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake
3.0
I really REALLY liked the first book, but for some reason this sequel just lost steam for me about halfway through.
I ran through it like a train until 84% completion (hoping for something 'more' to happen...), and then.... I left it for half a year until I couldn't stand leaving it unfinished anymore.
The plot is quite well written as usual (thank you Kendare Blake!), but the characters are somewhat lackluster from what they were in the first book.
And when they started off on their quest to the mysterious secret society, I was feeling more 'meh' than I should...
I feel quite guilty for it, as it's still a great story but I couldn't get myself to like it nearly as much as the previous one.
That being said, the final battle (while quite short and frankly a lot faster and easier than I would've thought) was VERY good.
And then the ending rolls around and I'm back in the 'meh, good for them now let's go' feeling.
I really wanted to like this sequel as much as I did the original. I REALLY did. But it just didn't do it for me. Nevertheless it deserves a solid 3 stars!
Over and Out!
