7 Wonders: The Colossus Rises

      No one ever asked Jack if he wanted to be a hero. He just has to be one. One kid. One mission. One big problem. The thrills begain in The Colossus Rises, the first installment is the newest adventure from master storyteller Peter Lerangias. The book is 7 Wonders: The Colossus Rises written by Peter Lerangias. Although the plot is gripping and the characters developed the story does not have as much flavor as ones from Percy Jackson or June and Day. The story tells the story of Atlantis and the Lambada. The story telling is quite bland although he fits a joke her and there.

      I would suggest this for myth lovers like Percy Jackson although the story is not written well. If you do not like Percy Jackson or get aggravated by having the proper science not fulfilled I recomend you do not waste time on this. If you are interested in the plot or like adventure and struggle then read away.

      My final opion is bland story writing but a wonderful plot and story.

Pillage

Pillage

         Pillage is an awkward child in the dragon fantasy genre. Although Pillage includes your regular elements (i.e. magic, powers, dragons etc.) it also takes place in modern times. This can lead to some confusion for the characters when these two clash. This also adds the funniest scenes to the book. Also, at the start of each chapter you read an excerpt of the mysterious book The Grim Not. In Pillage you follow the seemingly average Beck, a high school boy, as he explores his uncle's huge garden and discovers what is behind the mysterious locked doors, learning more about himself and about his family's history than he ever wanted to. This book is for fans of dragon fantasy and to those who want to watch what unfold in this book full of mystery
