Original review: A Novel Glimpse
I’m not quite sure what to say about Pucked. It wasn’t quite the writing I’m used to from Helena Hunting. I’m guessing that’s because this book was published years before the ones I’ve read. It wasn’t that the writing was bad. I actually really loved the Violet and Alex’s story line. It was mostly Violet. I’m all for quirky characters. They’re usually really fun, but Violet was quirky in more of an irritating way. It was mostly the choice of words used for her. There were WAY too many beaver and MC references. They were funny the first couple of times, but then just got annoying. Overall, I enjoyed this one, but not as much as I could have. I’m still planning on continuing the series.

I enjoyed Pucked even more this time through it. I upped my star rating from 3 to 4 because I had so much fun revisiting Violet and Alex. Violet was still super quirky, but I didn't find her as annoying this time. The whole "beaver" and "MC" thing didn't seem to bother me -- more like it was a hilarious reminder of how over the top Violet is. I didn't realize how much I missed this series. I think I need to reread the entire thing now!
