K.'s Reviews > Forever In Blue

Eeeh??

I quite liked the first book in this series, but it's been a downhill slope since then. The characters felt like they never learnt ANYTHING over the course of the series and continued to make the same string of mistakes.

I don't understand why the hell Kostas was a recurring character. He's the actual worst and having waded through four of these books, I STILL don't know why Lena liked him.

Tibby's relationship with Brian was...super weird, to be honest. She never seemed particularly into it, and so her reaction to them sleeping together felt completely realistic to me.

Carmen's story was once again the most interesting one in the book, but it drove me nuts that it took her so long to realise that Julia was messing with her constantly.

Bee's story in this one filled me with rage, because a) I continue to hate Eric and don't think she should be with him, b) the whole bullshit thing with her 30 year old professor (HAHAHAHAHA SERIOUSLY?? He's just turned 30 and he's a PROFESSOR?!) was super gross, and c) OH MY GOD STOP KNEELING IN THE TRENCH OH MY GOD. Seriously, I was filled with so much archaeologist nerd rage. You NEVER kneel in the trench. And you certainly don't crawl around in it on your hands and knees, or roll around with your professor. Because holy hell, you could be destroying seven million artefacts.

So yeah. I was honestly a little relieved when the stupid magic pants disappeared into the ether. It was a cute concept in the beginning, and I did like the friendship between the girls. But they just never seemed to learn their damn lesson. You know?!
