Customer Reviews

surprise

This book was a total surprise to me.I never expected Senna to be the narrator of one of the books.If you have read the animorphs books you'll know that Applegate tends to use the same style of writing over and over like as she also has in the everworld series but this one was totally different.Now that Senna tells her story it makes Christopher's,David's,April's,and Jalil's stories alot easier to understand.This book was by far the best in the series.Senna's lust for power makes it even better.Although I despise Senna Applegate almost made me feel sorry for her.Almost.This was a great book and I can't wait to read the next one.

Senna the SERIAL KILLER

If someone asked me what I thought of Senna after reading the first book, i would say i thought she was a mysterious girl. After the second book I would have said a powerful witch with her own plans. After the third and fourth I'd say a mean person who doesn't care about other people and is just trying to do her own thing. But now after this, the ninth book, I would call her a jerk, a psychopath or a power hungry killer. In this new book you finally find out what Senna is up to, and her plans ain't pretty. I love how K.A. Applegate chose to take a new turn with the books and had Senna narrate number 9. It's interesting and the best one yet, even though I now hate Senna. (She also wants to kill my favorite charectar, errg!).

Senna tells her story.

Finally we hear Senna's side of the whole story, and it's not a pleasant one. Senna's voice.... well, it's completely different. She's arrogent, for one, thinking she can have all of Everworld for her own, and she doesn't care about sending the others home; to her, they are just pawns. But that's the strength of the book. The author has managed to create this voice for the character, an utterly despisable character. And then she makes you feel sorry for her. Senna and the others travel to the Egyptian area of Everworld in this one. Senna sees, for the first time in ten years, her mother. She has lived all this time with her father, his wife (who hates Senna since she's a product of her husband's affair) and his other daughter, Senna's half-sister April, who doesn't try to disguise her hatred of her. Senna's mother makes excuses about abandoning her and then tries to sell her out. It was nearly heartbreaking. I hate Senna. And I feel sorry for her.

Greak book!

Oh the agony! I cannot believe myself. I hate getting into series like these where all the books arent out... and then I get so into them and have to wait months for the next one to be available! Grrr... anyways, about the book. It was wonderful, Senna's plan is revealed of how she is going about taking over Everworld, and I completely unexpected it. But there are some things in the book that dont quite add up, well i dont want to give anything away, so read it for yourself!

Inside the Illusion

This book is one of the best so far. You get to see this book through Senna a witch that brought 4 other people to Everworld. In this book the five of them, David, April, Christopher, Jalil, and Senna herself are in search of Senna's mother a powerful witch that may help them save Everworld and get them home. They incounter the god of the Alligators and travel to the Egyptian part of Everworld in search of Senna's mother. I give this book 5 stars because out of the nine books that are out so far this one and number one are my favorites.
