It had too many new point of view characters, and some of them did feel unnecessary (I mean, could have been included in another character's POV). Really enjoyed Reek, though! I hope the next book is a bit tighter, can't wait to find out what happened after some of the events of this book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-82010554867589097822014-01-01T12:20:16.931-08:002014-01-01T12:20:16.931-08:00I'm a big fan of the 13 series- they're a ...I'm a big fan of the 13 series- they're a little dark at spots but still suitable I think for tweens or teens. I liked them as an adult and they didn't feel like I was reading kiddie stuff, although some think they skew younger. I hope you like them if you give em a shot.
