Jan 6, 2021
3.25 stars, and that's simply because of the ending.
Unlike the other book I've read by the author, [b:Perfect Chemistry|4268157|Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1)|Simone Elkeles|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403424645s/4268157.jpg|4315675], I wasn't as drawn into this. I liked certain parts more than others and the romance seemed to just appear between one chapter and the next but at the same time I kinda really liked both characters and wanted them to get together.
I know there's a second book that continues this story and I'm off to hunt it out so I can see how these two work out.

I am attempting to sum this up and I can't. I liked it I really really liked it! I found it took me ages to finish because it was slow in some place but once I'd got onto the last quarter I couldn't put it down and it seemed to have such a slow build up and then suddenly it was like ahhh! Everything at once! I really did like it though,I loved how each chapter was from someone else's perspective, I think that gave the story lots of different angles and I loved the "book one" "book two" and the illustrations on these pages.

I really enjoyed the first story, Em's Story, better than the second story.
The first book was really heartwarming. I loved how much Em grew throughout the book and how she changed as a person. I was hoping she would and she did. The twist at the end was very unexpected and helped explain the story and tie up some lose ends. It really made the story. The chapter had me hooked and the book didn't go how I thought it would but that's what grabbed my attention and kept me reading.
There were a few spelling mistakes and missed words here and there but it didn't effect the the story or the way it read.
This book was romance but also about finding yourself and growing as a person.
The whole story made me smile throughout.
I felt this book was for any age group.
The most memorable part of the book was the description of Anna Island. I really could see it in my mind's eye. Sounded idyllic.
The second book didn't grab me as much and I felt myself getting a bit bored. It was so on and off and it didn't really add to the book or keep me gripped.
I didn't really feel the character or feel for them.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

Awesomely imagined world (3 more)
Fantastic plot
Sirius Falken ???
The bad guys
I didn't think this series could get any better, but it did!!!
Ok, y'all! I didn't think Piers Platt was gonna bust out a sequel that was even better than the first book! But. He. Did!
I was engrossed from the first paragraph and found myself wanting to read Escape from Olympus until I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer. It was that good!
Action-packed until the end, Escape from Olympus begins with a bang of a first chapter! It had my heart racing and my mind reeling.
I don't like to post reviews with spoilers, so I will just say that even if you haven't read the first book, Escape from Oz, you can totally get down with this book. It works prerty well as a stand-alone, although you will have missed a tiny bit of background on Falken which may confuse you for a split second in a couple of parts, but it's not vital to enjoy the story at hand.
Piers Platt did an amazing job relating the world of Olympus and its inhabitants. I was also very impressed with the fact that I actually liked the villians because he did such a great job with their personalities. I was completely invested in the fates of ALL characters in this story and I can't remember that ever happening to me in a book like this.
I am waiting dor my weekend to calm down so I can start the third book, Return to Oz! There was an excerpt of the first chapter at the end of this book, and I am so ready!!!

I really enjoyed reading this book! I was expecting some backstory to my favorite Avenger, Black Widow, and it did not disappoint. The story moved along very quickly and was easy to follow along with. It did switch between three narrators, so make sure to look up by the chapter number to see who is going to be speaking in that chapter. Even if you don't, it's not too hard to differentiate because the characters have such different speaking voices!
There were a few issues with the copy editing that I noticed while reading which kind of threw me out of the story, but I can look over those for the most part.
If you are a huge fan of the Marvel universe like I am, you should definitely pick this up and give it a read.
I am so excited that Margaret Stohl got to pen this book because she is an amazing author! I can't wait to pick up the next one when it comes out!
