The Three Hares: Bloodline
by Geoffrey Simpson
Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/s15eEYBrMas
Bloodline is the first book in the The Three Hares series, following Ethan Drake and his two best friends Jacob & Liz. They find a coded map after his father’s death, and together they go out to solve its mysteries.
I think the concept and the idea of this book is great, but it ultimately wasn’t a book for me. I like kids solving puzzles and going out on adventures, but the answers and the reason for everything was two unbelievable for me… and that is coming from someone who’s favorite genre is fantasy! I know that kids like to think that they can save the world, and here they get the chance to, but it was just written in a way that I questioned why Ethan had to be the one? For me it just seemed dangerous and irresponsible to give him this weight on his shoulders, and it makes no sense for me how a 13-14 year old boy is smart enough to do this job. BUT that is not me saying that kids can’t be smart and brilliant… I’ve read numerous books with brilliant kids, the book just didn’t convince me that these kids were IT. There were other parts that also ticked me a bit, but I did like the friendship and adventure time! Check out my video review for more thoughts. 2.5/5 stars.
