This
book focuses on what happens after Kate is kidnapped from Eden
This
book let me down, honestly. I expected it to be so much more and it just left
me wanting more. I don’t even know if I mean more as in the idea of wanting
more at the end or rather just more from the characters throughout. The characters
in this book changed in ways I never anticipated, or really wanted.
But
here’s a happy thought, we get to see some more of Olympus
in this book and from the sounds of it, it is incredibly beautiful. Somewhere
we should all wanna be. So let’s go pass some tests guys.
♥Characters♥
♥Kate: Kate has really changed
over the series, and not in a way that I enjoy. I think that the version of
Kate in this book is really disappointing. One minute she’s standing up for
what she believes and when she gets told no, she throws a tantrum like a 3 year
old. It’s frustrating to read. Half of the time I was reading this book I was
telling her to grow up and figure out what her life’s about. Crying wasn’t
going to help anything. In the end, Kate really didn’t do all that much to help
the war. And if you think about it, the war happened because of her. I hope
that she gets over herself eventually and thinks about the big picture more. My
main reason for saying this is when she talks to Walter about the lose of Ava
she still has to bring up herself. Get over it, you’re friend just died! Urgh.
♥Ava: I don’t think that Ava
would have betrayed Kate if Walter hadn’t made her do it. She was doing what
she believed was right. She didn’t even really do that much to hinder Kate, yes
she assisted Calliope in kidnapping, but Ava made sure that Milo
was safe. I didn’t agree with how she did it, but she still did. In the end, I
wasn’t really that hurt when Ava died. Mainly because the idea that she was
evil was drilled into my head every other chapter. In the end though, Ava paid
the ultimate sacrifice for those she loved. A truly brave thing to do.
♥Calliope: So this evil little Witch
is dead. Finally. Why couldn’t Nicholas just make a weapon to kill a god/
goddess previously when Calliope started the problem? Hello?! I wasn’t really
surprised with her taking Henry. I was surprised how crazy she got with Milo at the end, but I suppose she just wanted a real
family.
♥Cronus: Someone’s gonna be mad at
me for saying this, but I think that Kate could have worked with him and
changed him. Especially if she didn’t have a son in the moment. I hope that she
keeps up her promise to visit him. He needs to be shown warmth and affection.
♥Rhea: I think she is someone I
would like to learn more about. She seems wise and ancient in a way that the
gods aren’t. I was fascinated by how she portrayed herself to humans.
♥Henry: You are kinda sexist aren’t
you buddy? Women are strong people and shouldn’t be messed with. If your wife
wanted to fight you should have let her from the start. I just found in this
book, that Henry wasn’t as romantic, rather than protecting Kate he just bossed
her around. No thank you!
♥Walter: I think what has happened
in his family will truly make him rethink how he treats his family members. One
would hope so anyways.
♥James: This guy though. He’s the
strongest out of them all. Even though he’s a trickster. I still like him, I’d
like him better if he found his own woman instead of hitting on Kate all the
time, but hey.
♥Moments to Remember♥
♥Pg. 100
“’Not exactly the best time
to stop and give directions, is it?’ I said as he rejoined us. James shrugged.
‘Not exactly the best time to gather enough
power to wipe out half of Africa either,’ he
said, looking pointedly at Henry. They glared at each other. ‘Besides, giving
directions is what I do. Among other things.’
‘Like rob banks,’ said Henry.
‘That was once.’ James shook his head…”
♥Pg. 191
“’You’re not the girl I met
in Eden
‘I’m not-‘ I started, but then another tear
rolled down my face. ‘My family’s gone. No one’s letting me help, and every
time I try, I screw things up even worse.’
He threaded his fingers through mine. ‘Since
when did you ever need anyone’s permission?’”
♥Final Line: “Always.”
Thanks
for reading,
Love,
