Phantasm (Zoe Martinique, #3)

Phantasm - Phaedra Weldon

These books...I honestly do not know what to think about them. Or why I keep reading them when they frustrate me so.

 

I had many of the same problems with this book as I had with the previous two in the series: scenes written in a confusing manner, characters I can't connect with, use of cutesy words in otherwise serious situations (sammiches, really?), etc.

 

 

The author could also do a bit better job with the recaps of events from earlier books, because I'd read them and was still confused at certain points. I can only imagine how someone who'd not yet read the previous books would feel trying to figure out what was going on.

 

But...with all that being said, this book was better than the previous two. I found that I was more engaged in the story this time and that the things listed above didn't seem to throw me out of the story as badly as in the previous books.

 

I still can't say I actually like Zoe as a character, but I did find her more sympathetic in this book than in previous ones.

 

I will probably continue on to the next book in the series sometime soon.
