I was so excited to finally read it, because everyone was talking about it and everyone seems to like it. And... I wanted to love it to. I had such a hard time getting into it. The format of, whilst interesting is also really distracting. After reading about the third of it, I still had no idea what is it about. It was a struggle to finish it. It didn't really pull me in, but I can still appreciate the uniqueness.

It gets a bit better after that, however it was still struggle to see what the book was really about. 

It is set in future in space, where two corporation are at war for one planet. Few of the people on it can evacuate, many lives lost.

There was diary entries, ship specifics, interviews, chat room intertwined. I think I would love the story if it was more... homogeneous. 

Not a book for me.

Happy reading!

Heroes are finally all together. They didn't have the best start, the peace with the Roman camp they were hoping for is long gone and they are planning on going after them.  They are on a ship, made by Leo, trying to come to the ancient land, but of course, it never goes smoothly for the heroes. Annabeth has a quest of her own to complete, she has to follow the Mark of Athena and find the statue that was lost for centuries. She is hoping that it will help bring peace between the camps, but the mission is not easy.  It's my favourite in the series so far- Percy and Annabeth are finally back together. :) And that cliffhanger at the end, omg! rating ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

This one is a bit different but in a good way. Charlie wants to say I Love You to Nick, but can't seem to find a good moment. Meanwhile, his mental health keeps getting worse, to the point that he needs more help than he can get at home.  Nick is consumed with worry. He worries about coming out to his dad, but mostly he worries about Charlie.  He sees him getting worse and worse, to the point that he doesn't spend much time at school.  They both have to come to terms that they can't be everything for each other and find a balance between love and everything else.  rating❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ artwork❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
