So this book gets 3 stars instead of 4 because it had a typical series cliff hanger ending with no closure. I guess I didn't mind the cliff hanger in the first book because there was closure -- here there obviously needs to be another story. It also took me longer to get into but I think that is because I read it immediately after finishing the first book. Once I did get into the story I enjoyed it and was shocked and surprised by some of the plot elements. Enjoyable but I'm tired of series books. I read Hollow Earth with the attitude of "If anyone asks if I've read this, I'm probably going to lie." I enjoyed it, but it was definitely a children's book. Bone Quill didn't have that feel. The pace was faster, the plot was darker, the characters developed more. The Solon arc was really interesting and mythos was really well developed. The little crush Zach seems to have on Em is adorable and Matt was, frankly, obnoxious (in a plot-driven way, I would say, or at least in an organic "Gah, teenage boys." way.)I was sad to see a lack of Vaughn, though. I liked him!
Do You like book A La Recherche De La Plume D'os (2014)?
Such a let down after the first book. Longer review to come.
