citrus_seasalt 's review for:
House of Elephants
by Claribel A. Ortega
MANY THOUGHTS. But to start:
1) I am continually amazed by how this series can examine and put its young characters through the different, complex emotions I would expect them to, but still stick to a simplified/distinctly juvenile style.
2) SYBELL I AM YOUR BIGGEST FANđđ«¶they were AWESOME in the last act but ugh. What happened to them made me SEETHE! but fiinneee we need another major conflict for the fourth book
3) I was iffy on the sheer amount of buildup, but it paid off with *that* moment (I mean, Valleyâs on the cover. Thatâs already a spoiler). However, the sheer amount of plot points that couldnât be wrapped up or addressed until then made the pacing a mess. Doesnât help that each chapter seems to end on an action or a cliffhanger.
4) So many plot points happened in this book. A good number of them are wrapped up by the end but, dear god.
I will put up the rest of my thoughts later. I will say that although this is a very flawed continuation, I adored the continuations of all the main characters (Seven was always a favorite and that still remains the case), and this brought back some of the magic I was missing in âGolden Frog Gamesâ.
