Review: Never Never: Part Two

Never Never: Part Two by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This review was originally posted on Nessa's World

HOLY MOTHER OF SHEEPS. I am totally annoyed with how this book ended. Seriously, the authors are so cruel to leave me hanging... again! But, tbh, I liked it better than the part one.

Charlie and Silas both have no memories. Part two started a few hours later where part one left us. I like how things were going. Although still clueless, at least Silas managed to go over the notes he saw and Charlie's journals to have the slightest clue what on earth is happening.

Things were happening so fast, considering the fact that Silas got only 48 hours to figure out where's Charlie before they both forget who they are once again. Charlie's situation didn't make things better. And considering that she hadn't the slightest clue about what happened and who she is, there is definitely no way she could answer my whys.

The last parts though... I freaked out!!! Charlie and Silas were ready. I was ready. They're only a minute away from not remembering anything. Then boom!!!!!

I don't really think I have that much to say. Just give me the third part right now! Cruel, cruel authors. Leaving the readers with to be continued... for the second time. Please know that it hurts.

Review: The Son of Neptune

The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review was originally posted on Nessa's World.

One word: cool. Really, cool. I finally got to meet Hazel and Frank, reunited with Percy, and well, learned some stuff about the Roman camp they call as Camp Jupiter.

Jason was right. Percy lost his memories just as Jason did and was sent to Camp Jupiter thanks to Hera/Juno whatever. The only thing that I thanked Hera for was that she left Annabeth's memory so Percy still knows who she is.

Well, in this book, I was introduced to Camp Jupiter. Learned some of the stuff they do inside their camp. I still prefer Camp Half-Blood though, except that in Camp Jupiter, you get to live longer and have a family of your own.

And Percy's thought though...

(view spoiler)

I'm still amazed and totally loving how things were going. Not to mention Nico di Angelo's gotten hotter. But seriously, being a son of Hades and all, he's so sexy and mysterious. I can't believe he's the same person that collected those Greek miniatures.

The adventures and near death experiences are totally cool. And who would've thought Ares or Mars will be quite funny? Because really, I was laughing when he was looking for a ballpen.

Sadly, the book still left me hanging. Percabeth reunion feels so near... really near but Rick Riordan ended it without Percy seeing his Greek demigod friends.

The Son of Neptune does not just set us in an adventure but at the same time, teaches us lessons like loyalty, bravery and all. I love how Rick Riordan wrote this book. Not one dull moment!! I just totally did not like how it ended. Guess I just had to read the next book...

Review: The Lost Hero

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow, yet another series from Rick Riordan (although yeah I know I'm very late)! But this time, I got to meet new characters, new demigods: Jason, Piper, and Leo. Jason, the one who woke up having no memories who he is. Piper, the beauty queen. Leo, the flaming Valdez. The three were sent to a quest to save the goddess Hera.

What did I like? Everything. YES! But what I liked, or loved the most is when everybody's addressing Percy as Annabeth's boyfriend.

(view spoiler)

OH DON'T YOU JUST LOVE PERCABETH but I gotta stop talking about them here. Really.

Anyways, I kinda miss those titles of the chapters in the PJO series. In The Lost Hero, the chapter number is being followed by the character's name. But I still love how Rick Riordan wrote the book. Things got more intense as I move on from one chapter to another.

I also loved how finally someone asked about everybody being cousins in here or how is it possible that gods and godesses had so many children whose age is very close to each other. FINALLY! At least I'm no longer that puzzled because really though, how is that possible?

Funny how when you're a demigod on a quest, you always get to meet monsters or gods or some creatures on your way. Who could you trust?!?!?! Seriously. And that little twist about the Roman camp though, wow. So that's why Jason calls every gods and goddesses in their Roman names. Ohh. It was pretty surprising and made the story more interesting.

The ending. THE ENDING! Why are the books I've been reading recently ends in a "it shouldn't have ended like that" way? But I'm not including this book to those whose ending annoyed me. It just made me want to read more! I'm not even a fan of Greek Mythology (let's include Roman, now) but I am totally loving it. Looking forward to reading the next books!!!

Review: Never Never

Never Never by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This review was originally posted on Nessa's World

2.5 stars

What the hell did I just read? Why did it have to end like that?

Tbh, I have no problem with books that ends with cliffhangers --- not until I read this one. I was just enjoying the last parts because finally, I'm getting what's happened! And then there's this to be continued... which totally wrecked me. How am I supposed to have a good night's sleep when I want to know more, read more?

Although confusing, I liked its mystery thingy because it made the book (is it really a book, though) bit more interesting. When I picked up the book to start reading it, I thought I would love it but probably not. The main characters had no idea who they are, what they looked like, but could remember some ~~insignificant~~ things that does not help them in knowing who they are (like how a jellyfish looks like or the song lyrics).

It's quite disturbing that they were cheating but when one knew the other is cheating, I didn't feel any of their emotion (I'm guessing though that there weren't that much emotion since they're oblivious about stuff). So, I totally disliked these parts.

Overall, I could not say that it's a good or bad book. I didn't like it though, but there's 2 books coming up so sign me up! I'm so curious to know what's with the letters and what'll happen to Charlie and Silas.

I hope that when I read the next book, it wouldn't leave me the way this one did. It just seems to me that this is an advertisement for the next one.
