The snow child

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was an amazing journey. It is plot-wise actually quite boring, but the writing style makes it so beautiful. The ambience that is created in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in Alaska is compelling. It’s not only that, but it also feels so magical. The characters and their emotions are written so amazingly good. I was still spellbound hours after finishing the book.

“In my old age, I see that life itself is often more fantastic and terrible than the stories we believed as children, and that perhaps there is no harm in finding magic among the trees.” —from The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

We never know what is going to happen, do we? Life is always throwing us this way and that. That’s where the adventure is. Not knowing where you’ll end up or how you’ll fare. It’s all a mystery, and when we say any different we’re just lying to ourselves. Tell me, when you felt most alive?

Underappreciated PJO moment: when Percy, Grover, and Thalia know all kinds of random trivia about the Hoover Dam and they recite it because they miss Annabeth and because they all listen to her, actively listen enough to absorb all the information, revealing they don’t tune Annabeth out when she rambles about her special interests and it’s really sweet and a little bit sad because they know she’d be telling them even more if she were there but she isn’t so they do it for her.

“You called me by my right name,” I said. “You called me Percy Jackson.” “I most certainly did not, Peter Johnson.”

Quidditch through the ages

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was interesting, but sadly I’m not that interested in Quidditch, which made it a kind of boring read.

The sea of monsters

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I prefer the first book, but I still loved this adventure a lot. It’s just that I prefer Grover over Tyson (I love Tyson a lot more after book three and four btw). However, I’m super curious about Thalia and what’s gonna happen!!

‘I’d make up your mind in the next five minutes, if I were you,’ Hermes advised. ‘That’s when the harpies will come to eat you. Now, good night, cousin, and dare I say it? May the gods go with you.’
