The Challenger: Contender Book 2 by Taran Matharu
3.0
i'm not really an adventure type of reader but i quite enjoyed this book
- i'd say this book was better than the first one in the series (contender: the chosen) because we got to see the characters mature a bit more
- it was fast paced, something that i appreciate in adventure books
- the historical elements? amazing. i love how taran matharu managed to mix in the romans with twenty first century boys and hockey gals from the nineties and it turned out to be enternating and fun
- if you're younger than twelve i say go for it, you'll love it, and if you're a bit older, like i am, i'd also say go for it, but keep in mind that it's a middle grade book so if you're looking for the classic-ya fantasy with a swoon worthy romance, this is not it. there are subtle hints to a possible relationship but the romance end here.
