This book has me banging my head on my table. Is this freaking series over yet? Gosh, this makes Harry Potter look like a freaking short trilogy. (And I will be reading Harry Potter again). Revealed is, of course, tiring. It could had ended in the previous book, but noooooo! It has to keep going until the last and final book.
Anyway, I'm probably should tell you that I'm automatically giving this book a one out of five (a low) because of how long it is, but that is terrible judging. So I will break it down. And reevaluate my decision. Which is unlikely, but plausible.
First of all, when did Stark suddenly become a controlling freak with a bunch of insecurities? I mean, seriously, he is a warrior. I thought he had (sorry to be so vivid) more balls than that. Wow, that must had upset me more than I thought. Anyway, he has suddenly become so needy and insecure. It is like that man is at the worst point of his character. What is changing him so badly? Oh, and don't say Heath. I will be upset. Heath, for one, shouldn't bother him that much. I mean, seriously? Heath is Heath. He died and doesn't remember his former life.
And when was there a sequel to this book? It is such a disappointment that this book couldn't be the end of it all. Yeah, I see Neferet coming out (not in a sexual way, although we can argue about that) as the big bad in the next book.
Revealed is told by a bunch of characters. I'm not embarrassed to say that I can't keep track of them all. There is just too many of them. Three characters is good. Anything below that number is great. Four is a little shaky, but as long as the author is able to differentiate them to the readers, the book can flow easily. Five is too many. Six? That even worse. Heck, I don't even know the correct number of POVs told in Revealed. Let's see. Actually, let's not see. There is probably seven POVs or maybe more. (Favorite POV: Neferet. Her scars and thoughts for revenge as a spoiled child of Nyx, who is not biologically related, is one of the most tragic parts of Revealed).
The plot gets old. We have all seen it before. Good fights evil. Evil lords over everything. Good fights back and gains upper hand. Evil comes back and takes advantage of situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It gets really old. I swear that everything is going to become so predictable. Still, I read this book anyway. Gosh, I must be really interested by the outcome of it all.
Overall, I blah, blah, blah. Just read the first paragraph again. But I will change the rating.
Rating: Two out of Five
Hmm... No say about the cover. Just no comment. Noo...
After all those books before Hidden, I was getting bored of this series. I mean, seriously, The House of Night series is just getting way too long. This is like Private by Kate Brian. Just no.
I think books like these (number ten in the series of The House of Night) should have a recap. (TV Talk now) Recaps are nice. They help readers like you and me remember books we read for over a year ago. Really helpful.
In this book, Hidden, P.C. Cast must learn to keep the dead dead. No soul transfers or any of that rubbish. Please, just no rubbish of Heath and all that crazy stuff. All of the main character's boyfriends are always like that. For example, there is the one that died, and another that betrayed Zoey. Please have a normal guy who will not die. (Pretty Please?)
I feel that Hidden is just another book with the same or similar plot. Zoey is happy. The Evil Queen strikes another terror of darkness. Zoey fights back. The queen goes to find sacrifices. Zoey stops the queen. The queen slips away. Zoey is happy again. The queen opens a new reign of terror. Zoey tries to find the way to counter her. Zoey fights against the queen. The queen goes to find more victims to stop Zoey. Zoey stops the queen. And the queen gets away again. The endless cycle of deaths and good versus evil.
This is getting old. OLD!!
One of the good things about this book is the humor. The humor that is fighting against the darkness of the story is the light of the book. I love the humor, the laughing, the I-need-to-catch-my-breath-or-I-am-going-to-die laughter.
The writing and poems in this book flows as usual. I hope P.C. Cast would just spice it up. Just a tiny little bit. That would make the book much more interesting. IF SHE DOES THAT FOR THE NEXT BOOK, I WILL READ ALL OF THE BOOKS IN THIS LONG BORING SERIES!!! I promise, I will. Promise.
The switching POVs are refreshing and easy to understand. (The name is there unlike some books). It helps you understand the story.
This book was a short read. It took me around one and a half hour to read this three hundred or so pages of this book by P.C. Cast.
