Percy Jackson – The Titan’s Curse 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. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.
Mixed feelings: The Hunger Games – Mockingjay
★★★☆☆
on The Hunger Games – Mockingjay
The Hunger Games – Mockingjay has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

Mixed feelings: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
★★★☆☆
on The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. I went into The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. The atmosphere is the standout — it’s easy to sink into. The ending resolves fast compared to how much it builds up. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.
Not for me: To Kill a Mockingbird
★☆☆☆☆

Mixed feelings on To Kill a Mockingbird, but I can see why people love it. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.
