Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods by Suzanne Collins
4.0
This is a great installment in this series. I don't think it could stand alone very well, but the moving of the overall plot is fantastic, as is the story within this volume. I loved the new characters, and was sad to lose a few of them, but happy that we will get to continue to read about a few more. The action is consistent and engaging, the characters are relatable and well-developed.
Warning, though: my skin was crawling through a large portion of this book. With all that Suzanne Collins has thrown at us, I don't know that anything has been quite this...icky. I'm talking rats. Not the large, personified Underland variety, but the New York City skittery icky kind. Swarming. *shudder* Followed by plague-infested fleas. Also swarming. And killer soldier giant red ants. Again, swarming. *shudder* I'm going to need to shower again, just for reliving it all in this review.
All that aside, this is a really good book, and the development of the characters and the story is natural and authentic, and very worth reading.
