    About this audiobook

    Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times-bestselling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the bestselling Hunger Games trilogy.

    Book Two left off with Gregor reading the Prophecy of Blood: a prophecy that calls for Gregor and Boots to return to the Underland to help ward off a deadly plague. But this time, Gregor's mother refuses to let him return to the Underland . . . until the rat Ripred assures the family that Gregor and Boots are just needed for a short meeting, which the crawlers will attend only if their "princess" Boots is present. Gregor's mom finally relents, on the condition that she go with them. The Underland plague is spreading, and when one of Gregor's family is stricken, he begins to understand his role in the Prophecy of Blood, and must summon all his power to end the biological warfare that threatens the warmblooded creatures of the Underland. Fans of Suzanne Collins's acclaimed fantasy series will find more suspense and action than ever in this thrilling third saga.

      This book was much like the last two of the series, fast paced and a wonderful read. Although it was a great book, I didn't like the ending, it made the whole story journey that Gregor goes on almost pointless. But besides that I thought it was mostly a good book with an interesting story.
    • 5/5
      Excellent series!
    • 4/5
      Gregor needs to go to search for the source and cure for the Plague which has struck the Underland. When his mother contacts the plaque doing the meeting Gregor knows he has to go to find the cure, he cannot just go home. He discovers the dark truth about the plague.
    • 5/5
      Book three in the Overlander chronicles does not disappoint. Again, Suzanne Collins has created memorable characters, an interesting plot based around government, and caused the hero to quest for the answer to do what is right regardless of the consequences. This is a great series, and what I like best is that each is a stand alone book. Collins is remarkable at retelling just enough information to allow new readers in without skipping a beat while not boring old readers with the same details.
    • 3/5
      Gregor is again called down to the Underland to participate in another quest. This time his mother insists on accompanying him to make clear her feelings on the Underlanders demands of her son and family. Unfortunately this time the quest invovles a plague and Greogor's mother falls a victim to it, so he once again finds himself on a quest where his family is at stake.

      I was super excited about getting to meet a Hisser and to catch a glimpse of the Nibblers in this book. The jungle that Gregor and his fellow travelers go through is amazing, it's almost it's own character particulalry since it is so hazardous.

      ***Spoiler***
      Getting to meet more of Luxa's family was definitely interesting although I felt it was unnecessary for one of the characters to get killed off, particularly since I would have like to have seen that character return to Regailia. Also I was happy to see the return of Luxa. (yay)
      ***Spoiler Ends***

      Again I find this book darker then the last. I feel like there were things I found funny in the first one and now there aren't any longer any glimpses of humor. That being said I do still enjoy the books and I can't wait to find out what happens next.

    • 4/5
      I really wish I could give this book 4.5 stars. It deserves it. I didn't give it 5 stars because some of the story I didn't like. but after all, I'm sure that's just me. I look forward to reading book four and five. as soon as I can. still a great read and everyone should read it.
    • 3/5
      A boy and his toddler sister return to a fantasy world at war.3/4 (Good).It's darker and heavier - near full Hunger Games levels of trauma and horror. As a side effect, it loses the sense of humor that seemed so important to me in making a story about talking animals and a Prophesied Hero work. This is an objectively better book than the first two, with complex issues and Big Emotions, but it's probably my least favorite of the series so far.
    • 5/5
      Another great book in the series. I'd have had a much higher opinion of the author if I had read this series before the Hunger Games (not that the Hunger Games was bad, but this is better). The cover art for all these books is somewhat ugly, but you know what they say about judging a book by its cover.
    • 4/5
      Summary: Gregor has been puzzling over the Prophecy of Blood since he returned from the Underland. It seems to predict dire things happening, and that both he and his baby sister Boots will need to return to the Underland, but Gregor knows that his mother will never let him go again - and certainly not Boots. Gregor receives a message from Vikus, telling him of a terrible and deadly plague that's infected warm-blooded animals across the Underland - including Gregor's bat, Ares - and asking him to attend a meeting of the Underlanders regarding what's to be done about finding a cure. Gregor's mom doesn't want to allow even that much, but after Ripred send an army of rats to "convince" her, she agrees - but only on the condition that she be allowed to accompany Gregor and Boots to the meeting. But of course, things don't exactly go as planned, and soon it becomes more important than ever to find a cure for the plague, even if it means Gregor will have to venture out into the wilds of the Underland once again.Review: I enjoyed this book, but I found it pretty dark compared to the first two books, and particularly compared to other mid-grade fantasy adventure stories. There were a lot of interesting themes brought up: war, and pacifism, and prejudice, and how ethical boundaries can get redefined in the interest of security and in the heat of battle, and how these things can tear families apart. They're all presented in a way that's age-appropriate and organic to the story, but I was still a little surprised to have what is ostensibly a kid's book bring up biological warfare, y'know? As far as the storyline goes, this one was pretty good. Plenty of action, and several good plot twists. Plus, the answer to the prophecy made sense but was non-obvious, which is always appreciated. Character-wise, I was less interested in Gregor's struggle to deal with his "Rager" nature, but Boots (who is now old enough to speak in sentences) was pretty great, and I thought the secondary characters were really interesting (Hamnet and his backstory and his relationships in particular). The audio production was also good; either Paul Boehmer has toned down his habit of speaking in exclamations that bothered me in the first few books, or else I've gotten used to it, but the audiobook seemed a little more mature than the first two - which is actually true about the book as a whole as well. 4 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: Background context would obviously be lost reading this one on its own, but it actually works okay as a stand-alone; at least, it had been a long time since I read the first two, and most of the details had fled my brain, and I still followed along with no problems. The series as a whole is solidly good mid-grade fantasy adventure fare, and should be enjoyable by kids of both sexes, and adults who are in the mood for something fun but not overly challenging.
    • 5/5
      The third volume of The Underland Chronicles is another ripping yarn but also one where the quest is really a metaphor. Revelations of the Underland's past are made and the morality of the human's position in Underland society is questioned. Gregor's family also become a greater part of the story, as Gregor's mother visits the Underland for the first time and also succumbs to the plague that afflicts the mammals of the Underland. It's great that Collins can maintain the high quality of adventure while unfolding the ongoing plot of the chronicles.
    • 4/5
      Collins steps it up with every addition to this series. The characters continue to grow in a believable way and I continue to love learning about them.  
    • 4/5
      I liked this MUCH better than the second book. I feel the story still rings true for that age group (9-12) and I am interested enough that I am already listening to book 4.
    • 5/5
      This is the third book in the Gregor the Overlander series, and the story continues to pick up steam. In this installment, when Gregor and Boots have to go to the underland to find a cure for a plague that is infecting all warmbloods, Gregor's mother goes with them. Although she doesn't play a big role in the book, I liked the conflict that occurs when she tries to mother Gregor, who is seen in the underland as a warrior. Their interactions felt spot on to me. The book also introduces new characters and provides a little more of the history of the underland. The ending has a nice twist as well. The only problem is that the ending doesn't really wrap things up nicely. Lots of loose ends are left for the next book in the series. Luckily, I had the fourth book on my iPod and could start listening to it right away.
    • 3/5
      Apparently no longer content just to gratuitously kill off multiple major characters as she did in the first couple of books, Collins has escalated to full-scale biological warfare---and of course, the humans are the bad guys. And these books are for ages 9 to 12?
    • 4/5
      This book seemed to engage me better than the last 2, more descriptive in that i painted better pictures in my mind of the jungle, plaque etc. I liked the development of the storyline to include Hanmet and Hazard and their relationship to Vikus and Luxa.The Curse of the Warmbloods is my favourite so far in this series and has enticed me to read book 4 Marks the Secret.
    • 5/5
      Couldn't put this one down-suspense from cover to cover. Won't give anything away but this is a great series that I'll be recommending like crazy!
    • 3/5
      Loved this series, each book was better then the last and I hope that she writes more. Gregor is quite amazing for how young he is, but he has had to be the man of the house for quite sometime. Great series for any age.
    • 5/5
      Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods features perhaps the most mature theme of this series, The Underland Crhonicles: the exploration of the morality of biological warfare. Moving new characters, such as Hazard and his father, elevate this story from light and carefree to serious and weighty. In addition to being an enjoyable, entrancing tale, this book also offers much age-appropriate social commentary to consider.
    • 4/5
      The third book in the Underland Chronicles is one of the better ones so far in this series.Gregor is called back down to the Underland when a horrible plague breaks out among the Underlanders. Upon arrival in the Underland Gregor finds himself swept up in yet another prophecy; The Prophecy of the Blood. Can Gregor and others find the cure for the plague in time? Or will all of the warmbloods be destroyed?This was a quick read and a fast-paced novel. I continually find the presence of Boots as the two-year-old Princess of the crawlers (as I have a two year old son, I find that Boots' character is spot on). Gregor grows quite a bit as a character in this novel as do the people he travels with. There is a lot to wrench your heart in this novel and a lot of hope too. All of my favorite characters rejoined and it was nice to see Gregor's mom play a larger role in this book. There is also a ton of action and some great new characters that make an entrance.I thought this was a really good book in this series. It made me really look forward to the next book in the series. I also think when my son gets a bit older these would be great books for us to read together.
    • 5/5
      In this book, Gregor helps find a cure for a very dangerous plague, called the Curse of the Warmbloods, that only affect warmblooded creatures such as giant rats, people, and the giant flying bats. The rats and the bats are sworn enemies, but the bats work with the humans to find a cure.This was one of my favorite books in the series because it introduces a new character who is a giant, talking lizard. He can spit poison and he has very sharp claws, but he helps them find the cure.I recommend this book to anybody at all because it's an exciting, action-packed thrill ride.
    • 4/5
      A fun and fast moving installment in the Gregor the Overlander series (Underland Chronicles).
    • 5/5
      Continues the fine writing and maintains the suspense of the first two books.
    • 5/5
      they just keep getting better and better! i really like the giant lizard
    • 4/5
      Pretty good. I think these are getting better.
