my thoughts in a few sentences: While a vast improvement in plot development, the romance and characters are easily swept aside by the more dramatic issues in Dreamless by Josephine Angelini, which works to a disadvantage and not simultaneously. The organic world-building and Angelini’s rendition of some awesome Greek myths continues, arousing confusion and interest, but, unlike Starcrossed, not overwhelming. I didn’t necessarily enjoy the sequel more than its predecessor, but I did like it better in certain areas, where others dwindled and fell short in comparison. Still, I can’t get enough of the mythological aspects and with war churning in the hearts of both the gods, demigods, and mortals alike, I’m very interested in the outcome of this trilogy.
