Wild Love by Elsie Silver

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
So far, my favorite parts of this book is the moments between Ford and Cora…
I do wish we got to know Rosie’s character more, and Ford’s to be honest. We were told through the characters how their different childhoods effected them, but I wished it had been explored more and talked about more.
I really liked this book but it didn’t give me the ’wow’ feeling.

I liked this! My favorite so far.
I do however feel like it wasn’t realistic that Josh was allowed to slip-up again so quick, but I don’t know. I feel like if his counselor was any good they would have seen through Josh’s bullshit.

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

I was glad about the Reyna-Nico-Hedge plot line. I feel like their part is sometimes forgotten. They are such an important trio.
This is such a fantastic world which I never want to leave. The characters feels like my actual friends. I wish we got more scenes with the characters just hanging out and having fun together.
The stories Neva come more detailed and longer, while retaining the excellent writing with that said, my favourite series definitely is the original series - Percy Jackson & The Olympians.
Tropes
* Power trio
* Mythology
* Rival camp

This book is bloody amazing! Can't believe that so many things happen in just one book! My love for these characters just keep getting bigger and landing deeper in my heart. In the romance department, Percabeth is going strong and becoming stronger. I have however lost respect for how Jason handled the Piper-Reyna situation. Leading both on and only having the talk about who he wants to be with, with one of them.
I do love reading about Nico. I want his perspective more and more! His character is so deep and if anyone out there doesn’t love him - go away, shut up, you’re wrong.
Highlights:
- Nico opening up
- Nico being accepted
- Bob & Small Bob
- Annabeth and Percy kicking ass together
- Nico talking positively about Percy to Bob
- Leo and Calypso
- Coach Hedge
- Reyna believing in Annabeth
- Reyna and Nico
Tropes

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

I realise I have forgotten majority of what this book was about. I basically only remembered the beginning when Percy and Annabeth reunite at Camp Jupiter. I stand by that their reunion is one of the most important parts of this book and entire series!
I didn’t remember what a small part of the book is actually Annabeth finding Athena Parthenos. I’m kind of sad it wasn’t a bigger part of the book. I did like how the characters all kind of came together more and more as the story progressed.
Surprising? Unsurprising? I’m kind of back to being ”meh” about Jason and Piper… They are fine as their own characters and in the first book. But once you start to see them around the other characters? They’re…meh.
I am SUPER EXCITED for the next one though. If you know you know!
