Review: Across The Universe…

Screeeeeech…That is the sound of my brain… Oh my goodness. Let me just say, if you are ever EVER stuck in a rut, thinking “WHOA is the writing me,”…. Step out of your comfort zone and do some flash fiction off your current genre. And if that doesn’t work read some great books in your general genre (YA Fantasy). I guarantee you will be psyched when you are done… if you read the right books. Holy buckets. I read the right books. I just read ACROSS THE UNIVERSE by @BethRevis… and let me just say, Oh frex. I am STILL reeling!!! I was going to write...

No Spoiler Review The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan If you have been following my reviews, you will know that I have reviews Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief (Book 1) and The Sea of Monsters (Book 2) of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Of course, this means I must review Book 3, 4 and 5… once it’s in paperback.

I am happy to report… No one was stupid in The Titan’s Curse…...

This is a spoiler free review… so read on and be merry. Ahem, so… if you read my review of the first book, The Lightning Theif, you know that I only have gave it 3.5 stars… I really wanted to give it 5 because of the mad writing skilz Rick Riordan has, but I couldn’t because of the lack of character development… or smarts. Just wouldn’t be doing the public justice if I wasn’t honest. Again, Mr. Riordan’s writing was excellent! He really can tell a good story, get you interested right away and really make you enjoy the adventure. However, again I...
