Rise of the Huntress by Joseph Delaney
3.0
I don't know why Goodreads showed me giving this four stars, I did not. This was three stars, at best. Taking up soon after the events in Greece and Tom and Alice doing something really dumb (again) we have the two of them and the Spook returning home and realizing it's been destroyed and the County has been overrun. They decide to flee to the island of Mona and once again, they have some evil doers out there, some in league with the Fiend (again) and some just doing their own mess, and we get an older villain who is now out for revenge against the Spook and Tom.
Honestly this was so long and I wish that the last book had been longer. There is just way too many things going on in this one that even make sense and I just rolled with it. I think there should just be one big bad per book because otherwise it's just a collection of characters that are hard to track and even make sense of things.
I think that the book flow was really repetitive though, they kept trying to escape and got captured by so many different big bads in this one I got tired of it.
And of course you have Tom still keeping secrets from the Spook and I am sick of the and then I told him everything that always seems to happen. I think that what the biggest part of the series fall for me was that Delaney changed who the Spook was in the last book so much it just made no sense to me. And I really think if he wanted to make this a spectacular series, he needed to actually give Tom hard choices to make instead of him still doing the dumbest thing per usual and everyone screaming about how he is the only thing that matters. Tom is a straight up a Gary Sue at this point and he's not the most interesting character anymore.
