Hee hee hee, oh my goodness, you should have seen my reaction when my mom picked this up from the library. I will admit, I even scared myself. It took me not even a day to buzz through this book. And like all the others, I absolutely loved it!
Cammie Morgan left the safety of her academy for two reasons. 1) To protect her friends and family. 2) To finally unravel the mystery about the Circle of Cavan and her father. And know she remembers nothing of it. After waking up in the alpines with a bunch of nuns, Cammie has no recollection of the past summer. And there are even more questions once she returns to the Gallagher Academy.
While I would have loved a bit more comedy in this book, I got about what I was expecting. You see this in a lot of series. The first books are really fun and light, but then as the series progresses and the author gets into darker themes, a lot of that original humor is lost to the plot. And as you all know, Emma loves good plots, so it in no way bugs me that she is developing a stronger plot. No more chasing boys missions.
The whole mystery of it was great. How they slowly piece together information by the little things they find. (And a whole lot of luck, no doubt.) I also loved how Cammie was always humming this song that she didn't know and was doing things, like picking up guns and attacking teachers, without even realizing she was doing it. Now that would be really scary, no?
Bex is my favorite character, and I really didn't care for her attitude throughout a lot of the book. I understood it, just didn't care for it. I think Macey has become such a strong character, and I really love her now. Liz was Liz. though she has grown to. And Zach was mysteriously dreamy Zach, as always.
The whole story was great. I got some surprises that I was happy about, and then a surprise that totally surprised me. I should have seen it coming. I actually saw it coming a long time ago, but then dismissed it and was all like, "Nope, no way." Buy was I wrong. I can't tell if I'm happy or sad...
So Mel, I'm really sorry that I didn't get this during the school year. (See, I promised that I'd lend it to her... Stupid summer break! (She says sarcastically.)) I think that it is a great addition to the series, and now I'm all depressed that I'll have to wait all that time for the new one. There's not even an official release date. Just sometime in 2013. Could they at least give me a month or something? Seriously, the Catching Fire movie hasn't even started filming and they know when that will be coming out! Help us out a little bit Ally, we're all desperate. (Well, at least I am...)
Anyways, great book. I'm going to wrap this review up. I'm baking cookies and the smell is killing me!
