Another late boarder on the Eugenides ride
My friend recommended it long time ago. I bought the books but wasn't in the modd to pick them up until now. How I love my friend for warning me not to search for any information on the book and DO NOT read the backcover before finishing each volume. And ain't I glad!! I'd have been spoiled senseless and missed a good chunk of the fun tracking and catching the breadcrumbs the author left in the dark.
I didn't fall in love with the series from the start. The first half of "The Thief", book 1, was a drag and lukewarm at best. What saved the book for me was the story telling within the story. I love mythology. Anyway, I warmed up to Gen, the thief, toward the end of book 1 and fell hard and fast in book 2.
Book 1 was clever. Book 2 was brilliant. And Book 3 was beyond words, well, partly because, I'm a fan of romance. XDDD And now I'm hanging for book 4~~~
If anyone is interested and want to spare yourself the boredom of Book 1, I recommend reading book 2 first then book 3. Of course, you'll be spoiled senseless for the event in book 1 but... *shrugs*. Then after that if you still wanna read book 4, book 1 is a must. ^_^
I'll need to re-read the whole series again before I draw some fanarts ufufufu
