⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. I went into Percy Jackson – Sea of Monsters with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. The atmosphere is the standout — it’s easy to sink into. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.

⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. Mixed feelings on Six of Crows, but I can see why people love it. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.
Mixed feelings: The Hunger Games – Mockingjay
★★★☆☆
on The Hunger Games – Mockingjay
Mixed feelings on The Hunger Games – Mockingjay, but I can see why people love it. Characters feel distinct, and the dialogue reads naturally. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.
Really enjoyed: Percy Jackson – The Titan’s Curse

Didn’t work for me: The Lord of the Flies
★★☆☆☆

The Lord of the Flies has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. The ending resolves fast compared to how much it builds up. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.
Mixed feelings: The Witches
★★★☆☆

The Witches is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The atmosphere is the standout — it’s easy to sink into. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. Overall, I’d recommend it to the right reader.
Not for me: All of the Above
★☆☆☆☆

All of the Above is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. If you’re on the fence, try a sample — you’ll know quickly.
