Lost Legends of Nothing by Alejandra Green, Fanny Rodriguez
I received a copy from HarperCollins Children's Books through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Nathan finds himself lost and separated from his friends at the worst time: a war is brewing and Stryx is gaining power faster than anyone could have imagined. Now Nathan and his friends have to find each other so they can figure out how to defeat Stryx, each other, and Nothing.
I loved the first book and was excited to see how the story continues only to find that the story itself could’ve used some polishing. The pacing was slow and the story seemed to flounder for quite a while and made me lose interest a few times. I don’t think it’s a bad book by any means, but I do think it needed more work to really tighten the story because it lacked direction and really dragged for quite a bit.
That said, it was cute for what it was and I enjoyed seeing all the characters again. When the story finally found its direction and started moving along, it was really good from that point on. I was happy to finally feel excited about the story at that point. The artwork is also absolutely stunning and carried the book while the plots tried to get themselves in order.
All in all, I wish the book had more direction and used more of its time to tell the story rather than going around in circles when so much of the story was already established. I did enjoy it, but I can’t picture myself rereading this installment while I would reread the series opener.
