julesgou 's review for:
The Conspiracy of Us
by Maggie Hall
I really, really liked this novel!
Definitely one for the Ally Carter fans out there.
This novel surprised me. It looked good, but I thought it wouldn't deliver. It totally delivered. I thought it was just going to be another teenaged book that would end up annoying me. It wasn't.
I thought that I was going to hate the romance and that there was going to be a love triangle and it would ruin my night. Yet, it didn't. I found that there really wasn't a love triangle. There was a romance, and then an understanding. I thought that Avery had more of an understanding with one of the guys and then the romance with the other one. I really liked that Hall didn't put us through the agony of a love triangle.
I also loved that Hall gave us enough information. We learned everything we needed to learn about the puzzle, prophecy, and the unwanted destiny. It made us think without having to think because we were led through the thinking by Avery (did that sentence make any sense?).
A lot of this novel was plot and action and treasure hunting, but Hall did a great job of slipping in the character development. We learn more about Jack, Stellan and Avery as we go through the the whole treasure and figuring out what is going on. There was enough character development to warrant interest in the characters and who they. I know that I want to know more about each character as the story goes on. I also think that we learn some of the most important stuff about them.
A strong first novel. I look forward to what Hall has in store for us! If you liked Ally Carter's novels, then you NEED to check out this novel. Definitely lived up to its hype for me!
