Abandon trilogy6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() It seems kind of like burning your belongings so that they won’t be stolen, but…all right, Cabot’s trying to follow the myth. There’s also a nasty group of Furies chasing her, and at the end of Abandon, John takes the still-living Pierce to the Underworld so that the Furies won’t kill her…which would send her to the Underworld. In the last book (spoiler alert), we met Pierce, who had a near-death experience, met John the Lord of the Underworld, and came back to the living world with John following her, intent on making her his consort. The trilogy is a modern-day retelling of the Hades and Persephone story. Underworld is the recently-released sequel to Abandon, with one more book still to come. So you can view the following as venting, or as commentary on romance and female protagonists in YA fiction. I’ve never reviewed a book I didn’t finish, but…I review when I have a reaction, and I had a reaction to the first 65 pages of Underworld. But I got 65 pages into Underworld by Meg Cabot, and realized I was so irritated that there was no real point in going on. I almost never stop partway through a book. ![]()
