The Maze of the Beast by Emily Rodda

3 stars As with the rest of the series, good story and fun adventures. I did feel like there were less riddles in this book than in the others, which is what kept me from giving it four stars. Still a very good book and a good extension of the series.

Happy Accidents by Jane Lynch and Lisa Dickey

3 stars This is a very real memoir, rather than a collection of funny things that happen in Jane Lynch’s life.

The Valley of the Lost by Emily Rodda

4 stars I loved this book. I enjoyed it more than the last one due to the increase in riddles. The games and riddles within this book were cool and the plot had a good pace. I am very excited for the last book and cannot wait to finish the series.

Huntress by Malinda Lo

4 stars I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read this book, because I was a bit bored when I read Ash. I definitely liked this book a lot better. The plot was fast-paced and the characters were much more interesting. Despite the long length of the book, the plot felt like it moved fairly…

2 stars I won a copy of the sequel to this book from Epic Reads and figured I should read this one first; however, having gotten through it, I am second guessing whether I want to continue the series.
