The Hunchback Assignments

review 1: I like this book but I didn’t love it. Yes, it had that same adventure with my favorite characters but for some reason I felt that Modo and Octavia were a bit off. I still can see how this book fits in with the others but to say this…this book is the final installment was a slight let down. I ordered this book from Canada because I was so excited and anxious to read it before the US release. Maybe my expectations were too high and this book didn't reach it... I wanted fireworks but all I got was a lone bottle rocket with a small boom. Sorry…I just felt like something was missing in this final book…
review 2: The final book in the Hunchback Assignments finds Modo and Octivia traveling to France in search of the parents who abandoned him as a baby. ... moreThey are also determined to stop the Clockwork Guild once and for all. Though this book didn't surpass the third as my favourite - eh, what can I say I like stories with airship battles - it is now the second favourite in the series. Modo is more grown up in this one and willing to question about whether what he is doing is right or wrong. And I was pleased with how it all ended, a very nice wrap up of everything. I still was mad at Mr. Scoroties though and can only hope he later came to his senses. Oh yes, and Modo's mother. I was really mad at her. Colette's death surprised me. I didn't think THAT would happen and am still sad over it. (After all, her and Tavia were becoming friends!) Tavia was brilliant in this book. Her willingness to accept Modo how he was, willing to look at him without his mask, and then going with him when he left. She is definitely not the typical girl character and I am now very fond of her. All my fears that the series might leave things hanging are now put to rest. The ending was brilliant, leaving plenty open for the imagination. (Such as what further adventures Modo and Tavia get into together. Look out, Britain! They are on the loose!) less
