Trials of Death by Darren Shan
4.0

I remember this being one of my favorites when I was a kid. Huge Goblet of Fire vibes.

My biggest gripe was some of the logic used…some of it felt faulty and purely done just to progress the plot.

Getting a bit tired of the telenovela huge cliff hanger endings. I guess that’s what a series is supposed to do to keep you reading? But it feels very…I can’t think of an apt word. Gimmicky? Childish? It’s a YA novel after all. Again, I’m not the target audience so I guess that makes sense I’m not totally in love.

Still throughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for the rest.
