Stargazer, Claudia Gray, HarperTeen, 329 pages


(Oct. 11) I liked this one so much more than the first. And I liked the first one.

Stargazer, I don’t know, it just had more. Deeper characters, deeper plot, more action, more Balthazar, more Vic, more Raquel, even more Ranulf. It did not have more Lucas, but it worked.

There were twists and turns I didn’t see coming, Vic is super smart, Raquel actually smiled, Bianca was depressed...

I was able to follow the story from start to finish without a question of what was going on and even though I still have questions I’m pretty sure I’ll get most of my answers.

Eduardo is sketchy and so I’d like to know what his deal is. I would like to know why Mrs. Bethany, one smells like lavendar and two invited the humans in to Evernight.

I want to know what happened to Vic, Ranulf and Balthazar. I want Vic to be in the next book more. He’s my comic relief, I like his sense of humor and his mellowness.

So, I thought this was an excellent sequel in an already pretty awesome story.


“Yo Binks!”

Nobody had ever called me “Binks” before in my life, bu I knew who it had to be even before I recognized the voice. “Vic!”


“It takes time to figure out what the arrows mean,” Balthazar protested, moving stiffly through the steps on the beginner level of Dance Dance Revolution.

“You have to internalize that so your body knows what to do the second your eye sees the arrow. Your brain can’t even come into it.” I sat cross-legged on the floor next to the game mat, watching him in dismay. “You’re a good dancer, Balthazar. How come you’re so bad at this?”

“This isn’t dancing. These days, it’s merely-rhythmic twitching.”
