Review: Clockwork Princess
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I liked the series and I'm glad Clare stopped at 3. (I guess she could always decide to pick it back up, but I like the resolution here.) Clare's a good storyteller. It's easy to get caught up in the characters and their emotions. I always like the appearances of Magnus Bane. His warlock status makes him detached but influential at the same time. Same with the Silent Brothers. I was also satisfied with how Clare resolved the love triangle. They can be exciting but they can also be overdone - and I think Clare found a good way to play with the drama of the triangle while still having Tessa, Jem, and Will act like members of the human race who care about other things besides their own romantic interests.

Review: Odd Apocalypse
Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Odd series is a quite good supernatural/drama/thriller series. Odd is a great character who seems real with his quirks, fears, loves, losses, and a good dose of snark. His narrative keeps his dark and traumatic stories light-hearted, though not lacking in intensity. Same type of story here with supernatural encounters, a mystery to solve, and ultra-creepy villains that only Odd can take care of. Some dark stuff, but I appreciate Koontz's efforts to not get too graphic. And I appreciate a positive ending. I also liked the cameo appearance by Tesla. He always promises interesting and thought-provoking stuff.

Review: The Mark of Athena
The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I just really love this series. The Heroes of Olympus is a really good standalone series, but I would still recommend reading it after the Percy Jackson series. This book still switches between 3 different points of view, but they are pionts of view from characters we've already experienced, so no big deal. You spend maybe a larger dose of time on Annabeth's point of view, which is fine, since her role is sort of the crux of the whole quest to Rome. Still waiting for my turn to get a copy of book 4, House of Hades, from the library!

Review: The Kill Order
The Kill Order by James Dashner
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
As expected, the prequel is not really necessary to the main trilogy. As a standalone book, it's sort of interesting and easy enough to read. As part of its greater story, The Maze Runner trilogy, which was AWESOME, it pales.
