SPOILERS FAM, SPOILLLLLLER






This book started off a bit rocky but in the end, I'd have to say it's EGGcelent! (get it? chronicles of EGG? right??). I think it was really well written but the ending was kind of a bunch of things pushed together like Egg's fathers death and Egg nearly being hanged, the map being useless which was the whole plot of the book just ripped out in a few pages, etc etc, I could go on for a while. I really think the plot and everything was well put together and everything EGGcept (except) the ending which I said. The last sentence was, "Why do we need a carpenter?" "because this ship is sinking". LIKE WHAT KIND OF CLIFFHANGER IS THAT. THAT IS WORSE THEN RICK RIORDAN!!! Alsooooo, the deaths!! And family problems like whyyyy is it so sad? Basically, Egg's sister goes CRAY CRAY deciding whether to kill her family, thinking she is queen and for all we know, she could be dead. Eggs father was shot three times, three different angles! Eggs brother, starts crying even though he usually seems so tough and eggs mom died giving him birth. Along with, his uncle being super COOL. But thats besides the point. This was DEFIANTLY WELL WRITTEN yet why ruin the plot?? the whole plot was figuring out the map, and after like 1000000 pages (jk), the map is useless?!? Overall, GREAT BOOK
