Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ah, beautiful Senna
Review: A gal after my own heart. She has the right idea, but clearly knows nothing of military tactics and so her plan will fail.

In this book, we see the Everworld version of Egypt. I love what Applegate did with the Egypt gods, it has almost an Anne Rice quality to it. We also see how another "real-worlder" crosses the bridge into Everworld.

Because Senna told the story this time around, I think this is the best one so far. I personally enjoyed the break from alcoholic Chris, weakling David, and holier-than-thou April.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: At last: Senna gets to speak up!
Review: At last, we get to know the real Senna. This book was more psychological than adventure, since the whole book is basically Senna talking about her past, her future plans, and why she is the way she is (which is why this book is worth a read). This series still keeps going well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Never Wanna stop reading this!
Review: Every one of the EverWorld books is better than the previous one. I hope this series never ends because I like it so much. I have never been so intrigued and so pulled in my a book and especially a series of books. In this one you get inside Senna's head and as much as I want her to be good, that ain't happening. Senns is selfish but i truly feel sorry for her. Can't wait for book number 10. I just wish they would release more books at a time. I can't wait a month or two for the next chapter in this story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Senna tells her story.
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Mesmerizing
Review: First and foremost, I really enjoyed this book. I bought it a few weeks ago and just picked it up yesterday to read, but I just couldn't stop! Today, I'm still reeling over the plot and viewpoint and everything I learned about the characters. Here's a bit of my opinion:

With this being the first book from Senna's point of view, I found it to be new and intriguing. I was engrossed by the twisted notions created in Senna's mind, but impressed at the same time. I hated her with a passion, but was drawn to her all the same. Her power was admirable, yet her hunger for it was detestable. In a way, I found that I couldn't really blame her, in that she was never loved. I blame her father (also April's) because he was a cheating jerk who made a mistake and never owned up to the responsibility. It makes me agree with the Amazons somewhat about the male race being weaker, but we won't go into that. By going into Senna's mind, we all get to see how the storyline of April, Jalil, Christopher, and David being dragged into Everworld came about.

I also lusted for the power Senna contained. It was described so vividly, that I almost felt like I could reach out and draw the power into myself. The mixture of suspense, drama, realism, fantasy and horror all intertwined to create a wonderful story of the twisted human mind and the horrid realities of mankind.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Best Everworld Book?
Review: I agree with some thoughts already posted. The books have always overdone each other, which makes the series so good. But it also gets a bit tedious, as mentioned in another post. But overall, the series is the best I've ever read...

This book, gets in deep detail with Senna, whom I have always wanted to read about. You really get to know her more, and your opinions about her will most likely change. You get to see her past and how she developed into what she is now. If you've read the previous books, read this one: It answers most of the questions you have about the series!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING
Review: I have read the entire series and it is just the best thing ever! I mean it. I just finished the last book and it is just sooooo good of an ending I wish I could just read it over and over. If you enjoy mythology stuff and fantasy you will love these books!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Inside The Illusion
Review: I read EverWorld Inside The Illusion.I liked this book and thought it was good but it wasen't the best EverWorld book. My favorite part was when they blew up the dam and killed the dwarfs. What kind of name is Pretty Little Flower for the queen of Egypt. I liked the end where Senna brought Kieth to EverWorld with guns to kill the dragon. Then he went crazy killing whatever he saw.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Senna the SERIAL KILLER
Review: 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!).

Rating: 5 stars
