Wow, what a rollercoaster this series has been. It's awesome to read a book in this series with such an uplifting main character. As the quote at the front says, I did fall in love with Nona instantly. It was really cool to see the world through her eyes. I can't wait to see what the next book brings and how this story wraps up! 

Beautiful little short story that, in true Miller fashion, takes a well known greek myth and makes it more, adding to the original in different ways. 

Good short story. Would make for a great Twilight Zone episode. 

Okay this book really picks up the plot and runs. It has amazing twists and turns and the last quarter will have you screaming till the end. I'm excited to read the next book, but have no clue how it will connect. 

Will get back to after I finish reading the series im currently reading

Original rating: 4.75
Really good read. The only real struggle I had was being able to follow characters, understand where everyone was, and the final battle. The ending was jaw dropping.

It is extremely rare that I do this, but U am bumping Gideon up to a 5/5. Reading the second time you see apl the tiny details, how the dominoes were set up, and all the foreshadowing. Once your familar with the story, everything makes sense. Definitely a series to read twice minimum. 

An interesting start to what seems to be a good series. Originally I wasn't sure I was going to stick with it, but it was really good. Grew on me. 

So for the majority of the book I was bored. Which is a shame, considering the other two. But the ending is heartbreaking. Not unexpected, but heartbreaking nevertheless. 

Okay, the ending pushed this book to a 5. I really enjoyed reading it. I found it stronger then Red Dragon and it continued the story nicely. I do also like that they point out multiple times that Buffalo Bill isn't trans (as I know this book and especially the movie has been used to cast trans people in a negative light). 

A very good read. The ending really tripped me up and I didn't expect it, not going to lie. I thought I might be okay not reading the rest for a bit, but I think I'm going to have to go and read the series now.
