Rating:4 out of 5 Stars Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods |
Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods is another beautiful addition to the Underland Chronicles, where the main character, Gregor, is forced to go back down to the Underland for a third time as a deadly plague has swept through the land, affecting all warmblooded creatures. His mother Grace has followed him and his sister Boots to try and keep them out of trouble. However, she contracts the plague and Gregor has to take part in another prophecy, appropriately named "The Prophecy of Blood". They try and find the cure for the plague and meet up with an old friend.
I love these books as the Characters grow more in each book.
This series tends to make try and solve the prophesies yourself.

Gregor and the Code of Claw
Being the last addition in the Underland chronicles, this book left me sad as I enjoyed the journey as if I was Gregor himself and now this is where it ends.
A war broke out in the Underland between the humans and the rats. Gregor is forced into yet another prophecy where he is to be slain by the giant white rat known as the Bane, the rat he spared as a baby. His little sister Lizzie comes down into the Underlands, overcoming her fears. She is an important player in the war as she joins the codebreakers to help the humans decipher the secret messages the rats use to communicate. Gregor tries to forget the prophecy that is "The prophecy of Time" as it calls for the warrior to die. But Gregor sees that for his family to make it out of the Underlands alive he must overcome struggles and fight to the end.
