Our view
“Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods” takes “The Underland Chronicles” into darker territory and handles it with care. Suzanne Collins sends Gregor back underground to help stop a plague, through a jungle of predatory plants and with several new companions. Some readers feel the series is slowing down, though each book still reads quickly. The losses are real for a children’s book, and the story leads directly into the next volume.
