I'm really going to miss this series! It was a great ending though, loved it!(:
emotional
hopeful
tense
fast-paced
This series goes by way too quickly. That being said I love Henry, and I love that none of the characters are perfect. I still wish Kate was a stronger character, I find that she can be a little whiny and that she misses very obvious things. I loved hearing more about the mythology of the series, and I wish there was more interaction between Kate and the other gods. Overall, I think this series is really entertaining, and the last book was right on par with the first two.
This series just got worse and worse as it went on...
I consider myself to be a pretty fast reader, especially with YA books... This book is UNDER 300 pages and it took me almost a full MONTH to finish it!
I kept getting so incredibly bored throughout the entire thing. I would read 10-15 pages and already be sick of the story as well as the characters.
The only characters that I was mildly interested in were Henry and Ava. And they were not in this book very much at all.
I ended up speed reading through the last 50 pages just so that I could be done reading this book. I really didn't want to DNF it because it's the last book in the series and I did want to know how it ended, but honestly, I wish i would have just stopped at the first book.
If you're looking for a YA Greek mythology retelling, I highly recommend that you do not pick this one up. There are so many other options out there that are so much better.
I would probably give this a rating of 2.5 stars for the entire trilogy.

I definitely though the second book of the series was the best, this one was predictable and I knew what was going to happen at the start.
I really don’t even know how to talk about this series. It is such a guilty pleasure for me. It is not “good” or particularly well-written, per se, but it is bizarrely compelling.
Maybe I just really like seeing modern versions of the Greek pantheon? But none of them were very much like themselves. The author makes sure their pettiness comes across, but not so much their major defining characteristics. And yet… I’m hooked on this brain candy.
My biggest joy in this book is that Kate is not nearly as annoying as in the previous book because everyone has caught on to her bullshit by now. She doesn’t take anyone by surprise when she tries to martyr herself 77 times and they stop her before she does the crazy.
If you are looking for a meaningful read, maybe don’t go looking in Harlequin Teen’s catalogue. But if you want to turn your brain off for a while, the series is fun and quick. Overall, a solid pretty okay.
Oh! And it leaves off with a new goddess needing to be found, so I think we can expect the Goddess Test to start over with someone new… The end did say it was only over “for now”.

What can I say? I have been waiting for this book for what seems like an eternity. The book gave a lovely conclusion and I am definitely going to miss this series. (Luckily I can retread it as much as I want) My only complaint is that it was too short. Why did it have to end? Why???
AMAZING AMAZING it an addictive series the 1st is 3 stars but the 2nd and 3rd are 5 tars. I would suggest this. So sad its the last book in the series
—Te quiero tanto —le dije, cerrando la distancia entre nosotros y envolviéndome alrededor de él—. No importa lo que pase. Te amo, por siempre y para siempre.
Henry se quedó callado por un largo rato. Por fin bajó sus labios a los míos, besándome con dolorosa ternura.
—Tú eres mi vida. —Aunque sus palabras fueron apenas un susurro, parecieron hacer eco desde algún lugar profundo dentro de él, envolviendo mi cuerpo e infundiéndome con algo inquebrantable—. No hay nada que no haría para hacerte feliz. Antes de conocerte, mi mundo era una serie de días que eran grises y vacíos. Yo no tenía nada que esperar, y no puedo decirte como era encarar la eternidad solo. Cada día he deseado por ti. Cada día me aferré a la esperanza de que con el tiempo nos encontraríamos. Y cuando por fin te encontré...
Se inclinó y me besó de nuevo, con tanta ternura como antes. Su mano se deslizó por debajo de mi camisa, extendiéndose a través de mi estómago, pero el toque no era sexual. Era como si estuviera tratando de memorizarme, al igual que yo estaba tratando de memorizarlo.
—Existí durante más eones de los que recuerdo. He visto salir el sol y caer tantas veces, que los días perdieron todo significado. Por mucho tiempo, me pasó en un borrón. Pero esa noche nos encontramos en el río, la noche que te ofreciste a ti misma con el fin de salvar a un virtual extraño, mi corazón empezó a latir de nuevo.
Él tomó mi mano apretándola contra su pecho, y allí estaba, el fuerte y hermoso pum, pum, pum, pum.
—Ahora veo la salida del sol —dijo—. Debido a ti, los días tienen color. La eternidad tiene sentido una vez más. Encontraste cada pieza rota de mí y me juntaste de nuevo, a pesar de que te lastimé tantas veces como para no merecerte. Eres el pegamento que me mantiene unido. Si te pierdo, será mi final.
—Nunca me perderás —le dije con voz rota.
—Promételo. —Su mirada buscó la mía mientras pasaba el dedo por mi columna vertebral.
—Te lo prometo.
