About this ebook

The action and adventure continue in the second book in Suzanne Collins's masterful New York Times bestselling Underland Chronicles!

Months have passed since Gregor first fell into the strange Underland beneath New York City, and he swears he will never go back. But he is destined to be a key player in another prophecy, this one about an ominous white rat called the Bane. The Underlanders know there is only one way to lure Gregor back to their world: by kidnapping his little sister, Boots.Gregor's quest reunites him with his bat, Ares, and the rebellious princess, Luxa. They descend into the dangerous Waterway in search of the Bane, and Gregor knows what is at stake. If he does not fulfill the prophecy, his life, and the Underland, will never be the same.

Ratings and reviews

My job leaves me with frequent brief periods of time to kill and this game is a great way to kill them. Not totally sure why it sometimes takes so long to find a random opponent though, and the regen on coins is ridiculously slow. Still a fun time...

Same as the first book of this amazing series, this book simply doesn't disappoint! 1. The action wasn't afraid to be fast-paced, and somehow they managed to not make it overwhelming at all. 2. I could actually feel the emotions and felt genuine dread whenever something bad happened.3 3. The scenes that were meant to be gross or shocking really were to me, especially the island scene (won't go too into details for people that haven't read).

I loved this book and this is my favorite series so far. A lot of twists and turns in this book which made my emotions go up and down in this book.
