It took quite long to get to the main plot. I did like all the riddles and plottwists though. This book was set up really well.
Kinda disappointing: there were less dragons than in the first book ☹️

Ahh, the last book in the series.
Again, I liked how everytime Emily Rodda makes us discover pieces of the puzzle that were actually already there since the first book. I also liked how much the dragons appeared in this book!
Ofcourse, the ending is a bit much over the top happy, but as it is a book meant for children (11-13y), I can forgive it.

I really liked the subplot in this book! It contained lots of puzzles and riddles, but it also wove the past and present together perfectly.
And that ending

I FINISHED IT
After 7 months, I finally finished it.
I read all the heroes seperately, but for some reason I couldn’t get myself to read Oidipous and Theseus.
But I’m very happy I finished it.

I liked it very much and I also learned a bunch new things. But this was a MUCH harder read than Mythos. All those names. The Ancient Greek were very good in re-using older names, but it makes it quite hard to keep up

Interessant boek met veel informatie over verschillende huisplanten en uiteraard, hoe je ze kan stekken.
Een handig overzicht van de meest voorkomende huisplanten en de beste manier waarop je ze kan stekken.

Alleen jammer dat ik bij de helft van mijn planten niet weet welke soort het is, oeps...

Dit was veruit het minste boek uit de serie. Alles voelde heel gehaast aan, opeens was alles opgelost.
Bovendien weten we nu nog steeds niet wie de hoofdman van A5 was. Waarom had hij iets tegen Wiet?
Ik snap ook totaal niet wat de mama van Wiet nog ziet in haar (ex)-man. Ik bedoel, die man laat haar meer dan 10 jaar alleen, dropt dan nog eens zijn bastaardkind bij haar en wanneer hij besluit dat hij terug wil komen, ontvangt ze hem met open armen???
En is de mama van Ophelia nu effectief ook de mama van Wout? Zoja, waarom zorgt zij dan niet voor hem?
Ik ben best gefrustreerd door dit boek. :p

I don’t really know what I think of it....
I liked how it adressed some really important and relevant topics.
But I didn’t really like the story. They were always running away. Some of the things were really not relevant for the story. And I hated Jasimir for most of the book. Also, I was VERY disoriented the whole time. I definitely missed a map. And it took me way to much time to figure out what a leuga is.
And then the translation......... I noticed way too many mistakes.

I did like the romance though. And Fie is kind of a badass, but Draga was my favourite. Pity she wasn’t in the story for very long.

This book was very good! It reads fluent and the soundtrack was also a nice extra.
Sydney and Ridge are the most wholesome and pure people ever.
