The Mark of Athena

So, this book was really good.  The only part I disliked was the number of little encounters and battles because it's really hard to keep track, especially of their goals.  All of the battles were important, yes, but there were just too many details.  Of course, that might not be a bad thing... I'm just gonna have to reread the whole series for the next one... heh.

SPOILER
Lizard says the ending is really suspenseful, but I disagree.  Usually suspenseful endings kind of cut the climax out of the book, but this one really didn't.  I loved the end, and I'm excited for the next one (TARTARUS??? I still don't see how they could survive, unless they found someone down there that they know.  But who would that be? Daeldus or whatever his name was from the Labrynth?)   I love how after all these books, it returns to the first, and how he was so afraid of falling into Tartarus, and now he IS in Tartarus, and it's so cool.
END OF SPOILER

I think my favorite battle, or the most memorable at least, is where they give themselves up to the water spirits in the silo(? That's what I thought it was, but I'm really unsure).  That was so awesome, and I really love Piper now.

I Was a Teenage Fairy

Wow!  This was really fast and addicting.  I felt like I missed parts, like all addicting books lately (concentration issues....)  The contrast between the first half and second half was INSANE.  I had no clue that guy was molesting the kids until they came right out and said it.  And I'm glad Griffin didn't kill himself.  I thought she was better suited for him, I never really liked Todd once he was all 'I make girl's lives better, I heal them, so I should get as many as I can and love them all.'  I didn't get why, if he believed that, he still felt bad about the tattoos?  Like he said he regretted them?  And the fuck was with Ashley?  Anyway, very odd.  Colorful.

I loved the symbolism for love and sex and youth but not youth in Mab.  She was awesome.  I want to be Mab...

That's all for now.  Definitely a good short read.  I hate how I feel like I'll forget these books, like it's not even worth reading them.  But it is... right?  I forget so fast...
