Henry doesn't seem to have improved other than maybe at the end and from your review, Kate makes me want to strangle her. I don't know how I could tolerate her for the entire book.

That the characters have more depth. Your review leads me to believe that but that there is still a little intensity that is still lacking. I haven't tried this series and I don't think I will. I love the mythology, but don't fell like I'm missing anything by not reading it.

I knew they'd still pose problems for me, but the story was engaging enough that I had to pick up book 2. It's the same for book 3:)<br /><br />Savy - Glad you enjoyed it!

Henry's brooding bad-boy thing sounds like it might get really tedious, and I'm hoping Kate kicks his butt into reality.

I had fun with it despite my character issues:)<br /><br />Aylee - It'd be a good library read I think:)<br /><br />Danny - I think I gave the same rating to the first one, I had some issues with Kate there as well. I did enjoy the pacing and the mythology of this one a bit more, but Kate and Henry were trying at times for me. I agree with you on Kate, I got initially why she didn't say anything, but at some point, someone has to step up and just say how they're feeling, and it was clearly going to have to be her.<br /><br />Mimi - I liked that the Greek mythology element was more present, I felt like the characters were gods instead of mortals this time:) And I like Henry, I'm just ready for him to break out of his shell a little!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
