Finished!

The Lost City of Faar  - D.J. MacHale

Yeah, I know, it only took me a month

 

But I finished it!

And I loved it!

Still, though, not as much as the first one. The resolution with Mark and Courtney and their Andy Mitchell problem was way too easy and convenient. And the third-person narration on Second Earth needs a lot of emotion and fleshing out added. These books sort of...follow their readers age level. Right now, Bobby has turned fifteen, so I feel like the books are directed at fifteen-year-olds. But I remember feeling the writing and the characters become more mature as they get older through the series, so it's a problem I'm not too worried about right now. And I was neck deep in love with this series when I was that age, so I guess it's not all that surprising, hahah.
