Review: Love Pemdas

One thing I love for sure is returning to beautiful worlds intelligently crafted by its authors. From the first book, Pemdas amazed me with its uniqueness. It's a vibrant, colorful, regency-like world that makes ours pale in comparison. It's so pretty here, trust me on this.Now, The Uninvited brings us a very different set of problems than from the first book of the Ancient Guardians series. This time it's all about shaking our characters inside-out. I liked how this developed throughout the book, how it messed with the characters in such a twisted way. I mean, I LIKE Reece and Levi and their love for each other, but the drama and everything else going wrong was a much needed addition towards their relationship to spice things up a bit.Although the story is great and I certainly feel like continuing the series, I believe this book dragged a bit for me. It took a long time for things to get interesting and to make me want to rub my hands together gleefully. Oh, and I wasn't that much thrilled in how Levi and the other characters were so nave to what was happening to Reece when it was all so clear. And, Reece could have been more open about it, just saying.Overall, I did enjoy The Uninvited but I was expecting more out of the characters and for the story to move more swiftly. The big highlight for me keeps being Pemdas and a character named Harrison that always makes me laugh and grin like a fool. I hope he snags a bigger role in the next book because really, I'll be rooting for him in whatever he does. Not forgetting that there's the big royal wedding of Reece and Levi coming up too. Looks like I'll go back to Pemdas soon!*Book review based on a review copy and it appeared first at The Reader and the Chef book blog.*
