Lost in Time
by Melissa de la Cruz
This book was a bit of a mess, but I've read worse? I’ve realized that my issue with MDLC’s writing, is that the pacing is just a bit off. Her stories move quickly which is great because they make for really fun/fast reads BUT unfortunately they are lacking where some more details and explanations would be appreciated. It just leaves her stories (at least in terms of this series) feeling a bit underdeveloped.
In this installment to the Blue Bloods series there are three different points of view and it takes a very, very, long time to understand why they are all in the same book. Characters act pretty ridiculously, and a lot of the events felt like they were thrown in for a wow factor. This was a lot of filler to lead up to the conclusion of the series, and while it was relatively entertaining it felt unnecessary until the ending when there was magically an explanation that had everything “making sense.” By that I mean they tell you it makes sense even though I'm still not sure if it does or not? This is where my previously mentioned desire for some more details and explanations would be nice...
The saving grace in this book were the chapters with Allegra, it was really refreshing to have her point of view thrown in and to get some explanations for her story line. Everything else about this felt pretty old and recycled. I’m looking forward to finishing the series but at this point I’m not sure if it is because I actually care about what happens next or if I just want it to end? Like I said earlier this was entertaining but it just wasn’t anything special. The last few books have felt like a completely different series from the first four, so I guess I’ll see what the conclusion has to offer me. *shrugs*
