Cabot writes really fun paranormal. This is a retelling of the Persephone myth, but with a Buffy-like cast of supporting characters. There are pirates, and a hero who actually listens to his beloved and takes her advice, which is still something of a novelty in romance. There are also Fates, Furies,...
Oh, man, is Pierce DUMB. This did not bother me so much in the first installment, but I could not stand her stupidity in Underworld. Obviously your creepy boyfriend lied to you to get you to have sex with him. He "didn't know" you didn't know it'd stick you in the Underworld? Uh, except he stopped t...
I am highly disappointed in this second installment. Compared to the 1st book, which I thought was quite good, it felt as though I was not even reading about the same characters that I met in book 1. The "Teaser" you read on the back of this book, is just that a teaser.It's like you've been shown pr...
Not Cabot's best work by a long shot. I actually really enjoyed the concept of retelling a Greek myth in Abandon, after all she did a great Arthurian retelling with Avalon High. However, Cabot seems to have lost her way with this Twilight-esque sequel.The plot seems to drag in places and the conflic...
Audiobook:Narrated by Natalia Payne, she was pretty good. She was good at masculine voices as well. She also has narrated some Jodi Picoult books as well. Audio is definitely worth buying/listening to.Book Review:I loved Abandon. I love the whole mythological aspect of this series. Underworld was go...
My Rating: 3.0 Underworld was a bit like Abandon, but not as much. Like Abandon, Underworld doesn't go right to the action straight away, but readers didn't have to wait as long for the action like how they did for Abandon. However, I feel Meg Cabot could do better. Pierce wasn't as selfish as she w...
Update 1: I just looked up the first book in the series to see what I thought of it and noticed that I began reading book one exactly one year ago today. Weird.That's all I've got so far. 49 pages in and I feel the same about this one as the last one: slow start. Maybe it'll pick up.Update 2: It too...
"Underworld" by Meg Cabot is the second book in the series about a teen who, like Persephone, visits the "lord" of the Underworld and may have to live there forever.Pierce has known John, the "Captain" of the Underworld, for a long time. There's the time he saved a dead bird and brought it to life i...
