You're welcome Rick Riordan. Why you ask? Well for purchasing TWO copies of this book...I lost the first one when I was about 75 pages in while on vacation. So of course I had to get another so I could finish it! That being said, I enjoyed this book but, then again, there's not a book by him that I haven't enjoyed. Looking forward to see how Leo, Calypso, & Apollo get along!

I enjoyed this one a lot. I loved seeing what became of netty, baby and wil even though they seem very bitter and angry. They also appear to love the animals more then anything so nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed seeing where everyone is going. I feel bad for that one dude's family...the grandma was just trying to help and get them to be a family again and now they've lost almost everything and can't get past the bad guy. The hive is amazing and i love the elephants. The other characters are adding a lot of new plots and twists. Can't wait to read the next one :)

Fantastic, the concept is awesome and in my opinion a snapshot of how the world could be on it's current path. Unfortunately I am not a videogame nerd, some of the references were lost on me but 80s film and TV, I loved the connection to the culture of the time period. Since Back to the future I have been a fan of the Delorean car and was excited it was bought back in this story. The book was a thrill, geek ride from start to finish. My only regret is that I didn't discover it when in was first published in 2011.
Now I have read it I can't wait to see the film, player one is well and truly ready!

I really enjoyed the first two books which were set during the two games of Caraval that the two sisters Scarlett and Donatella were involved in. This one not so much. There wasn't a game as such, it was more about saving the land from an evil tyrant.
The concept of the Fates was good. I think in a book written for adults this could have been explored in more depth, but this is for a younger audience so detail was lost.
And oh for goodness sake, what's with all the kissing!!!! It is essentially a book about love, and obviously for a YA audience (the main characters are about 16 and 18) but there was just too much of it.

3.5 stars

I think I lost interest somewhere in the middle for a short while as my week off started and I did things I've been wanting to do for a while but I jumped back in today and pretty much finished the last 45% in one sitting.

I'm liking the thing--well, romance, I'm assuming--between Neutral and Emmy, that could be interesting so I'm going to read book 4.5 next.

As for the rest of this one. We're getting more answers to the questions that have arisen over the last three books and the father of Willa is definitely an intriguing one if it is who was mentioned towards the end of this one.

Pica had me grinning like an idiot at the end. She LOVES everything! It was so funny to read the group's feelings towards her and her attitude to life.
