The Clockwork Chronicles

review 1: I want this series to be as good as the first trilogy so bad, and yet, it constantly falls short. I think the main problem lies with the Clockworks. I don't care about them at all. I find them to be boring. After facing menacing monsters in the first three books, the Grey Griffins should not be frightened in the least by robots. I don't know where the authors went wrong. The fun was sucked out. The relationship between the Griffins isn't the same. The humor, not so hilarious. Perhaps everything the authors wanted to say was used in the first trilogy and now they are running on steam like Stephen King post-1985.Now I am not saying these books are ridiculously boring. Hardly. It's just sad to see a favorite series of mine end up in the average category. There was nothing min... mored-blowingly awesome in this book. And I know that they probably needed a new direction for these books, but they fell short in my opinion.
review 2: The Grey Griffins go through some trying times in this story. Max and Ernie struggle with the aftermath of a friend's death. Harley's mentor is mysteriously I'll and Natalia starts to separate herself from the group. I liked many of these added elements because I thought it made the interactions between the characters a little more complicated. The plot was filled with action again and the steampunk elements of theclockwork devices continue to add a layer that makes this series a little different than others that are geared for middle grade students. I was though irritated with the complete cliffhanger twist ending since the next book won't be out for another year or so. less
