A Vanishing of Griffins by S.A. Patrick
4.0
(4.5)
The thing about sequels is that, yes, we love to learn and read more about the world, live with the characters, experience both their happiness and sorrow, but often they disappoint. Not this book. It amazed me just as much as the first book, and I couldn’t put it aside.
It was playing with my emotions once again, but whereas the first one was mostly filled with frustration, this one was pretty emotional. A few times it left me feeling really sad and angry, unable to do anything. Helpless.
You think the finale Battle is what will wrench your emotions? Well, not this book here. The incident in the middle was the most hurtful, to be honest. Not saying the finale wasn’t, but the middle really left me crying dry tears.
What I didn’t really like that Erner was most of the time pretty much useless. Okay, not useless, but kinda invisible? He barely talked or whatever – he was just there. I get that he and patch (aka the protagonist) avoided each other, but we also got some chapters in the viewpoints of other background characters, soo... Erner was there at the beginning, but after they found him, he was just... there. Even Underath had perhaps more dialogue than him?
Well, I mainly hope that he gets more screentime in the 3rd book.
Speaking of, I’m really excited to read the 3rd book! Sadly it comes out in 2022, but I already pre-ordered it!! I don’t want to wait tho haha
