As a 20th birthday present to myself, I decided to reread the series as I haven't touched it for some time. I'd forgotten a lot about the books that I'd filled in with pieces from the movies, and though it helped with the visuals the book gave me, nothing is more incredible than Rowling's description of Harry's World. I absolutely adore the books so much and am thrilled to have read this one in the series 68 times now and many more times to come.

I read the Harry Potter series of course when I was around the age of 8, eagerly waiting for the next books to come out each time. It's moments like these where I get to go back and reread these books that I remember just how much I adored them. I'm so glad I grew up with the Harry Potter generation and was able to fall in love as it happened.

Book Two Personal Read Count: 54

Definitely an awesome plot however I couldn't fall in love with the characters. There wasn't much to fall in love with. I was very disappointed and wish there was more description! Twist at the end was great but there was a lot of potential that was thrown away with this one.

Darling, if I could express my love solely in words for this book I would. But I fear I'd give something away. So I won't. You're just going to have to trust me on this one. Read it.

This book was sweet and definitely had some memorable quotes woven into it. However from the beginning I had predicted the ending, and that is something I don't much care for in a book. I will admit that the plot however and the way the book was broken up was perfectly executed and I enjoyed it very much.

Absolutely loved it! Definitely a great start and looking forward to the rest of the series!

Absolutely loved this. The first half was a tad dry but once it hit the climax, it was absolutely fantastic! Loved the fear Lyla had and the fact that she wasn't always brave. She learned how to be brave when she had to be.

This book was eh. Reading the dust jacket got me really excited and I absolutely adored Thalia as a character, though I feel she could have been much more consistent with her position on most things. Mostly though, that's how I felt with the whole book. Zero consistency. It seemed like it skipped around going from ups and downs, to fights and compromises too quickly. There wasn't time to process the negatives before the positives came barreling back into it. All the technological advances in addition to the plot of "no need for food" really was just more confusing for the reader who had to understand what was happening. More than anything, I was actually really hoping for this book to be a female character who ditched her man. They really weren't an agreeable couple....whatever. Overall wasn't my favorite book. Definitely disappointed.

I actually really enjoyed this book. The few things that bothered me were the multiple names for the characters. They would be used in Chapter 4 and referred to as something different until Chapter 12 when the nickname was brought up again. The plot was amazing though and I really enjoyed it much more than I expected I would. Definitely recommend!
