Ex-Isle by Peter Clines
4.0
I've said it before and I'll say it again.. these books are ridiculous and I love them! This one is not my favourite in the series, and may have induced much more exasperated eye rolling, but nevertheless it was still highly entertaining and compulsive reading!
My main problem with it is that my patience is now worn pretty thin with the perhaps noble but pretty stupid actions of our Heroes, as they once again (again!) decide to go offer some other survivors help and walk right into a pretty darn obvious trap. Also maybe don't take Corpse Girl since she's really creepy and bound to freak everybody out?!?! Not only this but they had enough problems at home already with the food situation at the Mount and Eden without sending their two most useful and powerful heroes off on a mission that really could have waited until a better time. Plus they have no food or resources to offer anybody at the moment anyway... I'm amazed that Stealth ever agreed to it! The relationship with St George is making her way too soft.
So that annoyed me. A lot. But at least, Thank God, that Legion didn't show up in this one!
The plot may have been kind of stupid but still Peter Clines is a hell of a writer and I still enjoyed it! It was good to spend more time with Zzzap as he's one of my favourites, but there was pretty but no Stealth in this book. Danielle is stuck back at base still trying to build the new Cerberus suit but mainly her sub-plot deals with her PTSD and some issues with the Unbreakables. I've got to say I really miss her in the suit.. not really a fan of Caesar.
