it was ok
bookshelves: sci-fi

Have you ever wondered if the Matrix would make a good book and then tried to imagine how an author would describe Reeves billowing trench coat and those swift motions that robotically counter those powerful agents? Probably not, but if you had, you'd quickly realize that somethings are best visual. And speaking of the Matrix, you know how the Matrix was cool and then the sequels weren't as good (when are they ever) and by the end you were done with this idea that was originally so creative but then just dragged on? You're getting a pretty good of what reading ArchEnemy is like. I often had trouble following what he was describing and other times frustrated that he kept cutting scenes short, jumping to someone else's dire circumstances, just to leave you hanging on a cliffhanger without telling you anything that happened. The Looking Glass Wars was interesting and different, but I'm kind of over the novelty of it and not really interested in the graphic novel turn the series has taken. Beddor should have wrapped up his story in one book and left it at that.

Miss Amelia why do authors do that???? why does EVERYTHING have to be a trilogy/series?!?!?! i didnt think this one was as good as the first either!


Annalisa I know. It works for Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, but usually, it doesn't.
