Annabeth's War by Jessica Greyson

2.25

 It was fine, the book was entertaining enough. Like The Flawed Princess, which I read earlier this year, the book got surprisingly dark halfway through. 

The main character is pretty typical. Not like other girls (“I never thought you would fight for me; I thought you would flee and hide like every other daughter I have ever known.”) who bests grown men in swordplay and for some reason has a weird character arc where she forces herself not to cry (“It’s all right, Annabeth. There is no need to cry. It’s all over. You’ve held out this long; you needn’t shed a tear.”) 

I was a bit disappointed with Ransom’s story, because the book kept hinting at something interesting

(It looked a lot like he was an enemy soldier sent to capture her) but then he’s a good guy and nothing actually interesting happens with him.

 

There’s quite a few typos and spelling mistakes and there are a bunch of sentences that dont’ make any sense. (“Slowly, she moved her mind into a place of existence.”) We don’t get any backstory on important characters and plots. 

<spoilers>The timing of her father’s death is hysterical. He just told her she needn’t fear losing him again and then suddenly there’s sword in his back.
