Reviews for The League of Seven

[Anna · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book was ok-ish. For me it was just to fake I didn’t make enough sense to me. Sci-fi is cool most of the tome there was just way to much of it in this book.

I didn’t like how Hatchi was so annoyed at everything that happened. She was so secretive.

The 2 boys on the other hand were pretty cool to I liked how they were opened to going in an adventure without a doubt.

There were these robots called tick tocks they were just plane weird to me. They knew everything it seemed and they were programmed to say specific things if they knew or were not allowed to tell something they were programmed to say “I do not know.” Or “I cannot tell.” Which made them to predictable.

Honestly the first time I listened to this book I fell asleep it was so boring then I decided to try and listen to the story again and honestly I didn’t even finish it. It was that boring.
