Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (Percy Jackson)

Sunday, 13 June 2010 13:26
The time has come now for Percy to face his biggest decision yet: a decision that will control whether or not Olympus falls. The gods are at the mercy of a 15 year old. The right choice isn't always the easy choice, and many hardships stand in his way... With the Last Olympian, the Percy Jackson series has come to an end, and certianly not quietly. The Last Olympian (TLO) is a fantastic climax to the series that is witty, action packed and highly entertaining. Rick Riordan has triumphed and has managed to write perhaps the best book in the series, which is challenging, considering the merits of The Lightning Thief and some of the latter books. Unlike some of the earlier books, The Last Olympian suffers a lit less from the predictable plot syndrome, making it a far more unexpected read. Apart from a case or two where I could guess what happened a few pages before it did happen, there wasn't really much foresight. There were a few things that unsettled me, however. Most notable is Percy himself. At the beginning of the book, he is supposed to be 15 years old (he turns sixteen at the end). What I found, though, is that he seemed to act much more like a thirteen year old. Percy as a character hasn't seemed to mature much since the Lightning Thief, which is a real shame, because a 16 year old Percy could potentially have been very amusing. The most obvious factor of this is the romance between Percy and you-know-who. Their relationship has been...

The Cry of the Icemark (Chronicles of the Icemark)

Tuesday, 08 June 2010 19:31
Times are changing in the world of the Icemark, and slowly the behemoth of the world, the Polypontian Empire, is focussing its gaze on the small but tough Icemark, seeking to expand it's already gigantic empire. The Icemark needs allies, but what can it do when there have been hostilities with all the neighbouring lands? It's up to Queen Thirrin, a 14 year old girl to try and make amends. But it won't be easy, particularly at the hordes of armies that the Polypontus has under command.... Stuart Hill has managed to pen a fantastic debut novel, encompassing everything that is great about fantasy into one action packed book that is sure to warm the hearts of many people....

A Darkling Plain (Mortal Engines Quartet)

Thursday, 03 June 2010 00:00
It's been six months since the events on Brighton and Cloud 9. Wren and Tom are travelling the Bird Roads, making a living by buying and selling goods. All is quiet- a truce has been formed between the Green Storm and the Traction Cities. It's a fragile truce, but a truce none the less. Although it doesn't look to be holding for much longer, partcicularly with the goings on in destroyed Lindon and a new Old-Tech weapon even more powerful than MEDUSA.... A Darkling Plain is the fourth, last and perhaps best book of the Mortal Engines Quartet. The series that began with such a beautiful beginning has now ended with an equally beautiful ending, an ending which the book is very...
