Okay, hear me out. Better than I expected!

No seriously, this series has the plot and the story line to tie you over until the author learns how to write! Okay, okay, that was mean and frankly, untrue. I love Madow's book, I do disagree with the writing style but that's neither here nor there. This story was the conclusion that this series deserved. I'm so glad about the ending ending, and frankly, I do not care about Torrence. Like at all. Her entire plot line was unimportant to this book so I'm hoping she shows up in the next series or else I have more questions than answers and that is not something I can live with.

Should you read these? I mean, up to this point, the series is technically 17 books long, with 4 for the next series (thus far, idk haven't read it, just heard of it the other day.) The first series is a fun mid. The second series is arguably worse since it's unnecessarily stretched, but it's also more action than the first. This series? I found that the books were a great length, emotions were tough, characters were good for the most part. Yes, I'd say that this is the best one and I am excited to start the Dragon Twins.

I’m sorry, this was laughably bad. I’m a YA enjoyer but this was just too simple and convenient. Every conflict had an almost immediate resolution, the plot whipped by so you had no idea what the passage of time was; it was just an insane jumble of mythology and lore. I wouldn’t recommend this series to literally anyone, don’t waste your time. Also the random (light) smut was too much, they’re SIXTEEN!! I don’t wanna read about them being intimate. I actually laughed when they all made it home and they weren’t allowed to live together! Why? Because they’re CHILDREN!!! Just weird and bad, will never read again. 

This was pretty good. There were some aspects of the series that bothered me, for example when Selena knew something was wrong with someone but she just pretended there wasn’t, or how the vampire king and the faerie prince had the same name??? But it was a good series to listen to while I was driving or cleaning etc.

Insgesamt eine gute Reihe mit vielen Wendungen. Am Anfang bei den Spielen sogar richtig brutal und das obwohl die Prota noch jung ist. War irgendwie nicht so ganz passend meiner Meinung nach.
Ansonsten hat mich die Geschichte gut unterhalten.

Loved this book at the end of the other one in was so pissed off at Julian. Now we finally found out he was being such a butt. I got to say Michelle has a way of pulling me in where I am rooting for or cussing the characters. But that's just how good of a writer she is. I feel that if you can pull me in that much then I am hooked and you've done your job as an author. She never fells to disappoint and she'll keep you on edge with where the story will go and who is going to pop up next in the book.

I've spent the past week devouring this series. The funniest thing about it is that it has a continuation series that I already had on my wishlist (which has now gone straight to the top) that I didn't realize was related. These books are incredible but I can't tell you much more without a few potential spoilers

Still reading? Okay, this series has a little bit of everything. It's like Hunger Games X ACOTAR X Big Brother X Triwizard Tournament X Percy Jackson. Possibly even a couple of Dragon Age: Inquisition references? There's every kind of lore and mythology you can think of. Roman and Greek gods, fae, witches, mages, shifters, vampires, demons, pegasi, seers...the list goes on. It's a just a little spicy but VERY addictive. HIGHLY recommend.

That said, there are two trigger warnings I feel are necessary. Neither are particularly graphic.

The first is self...unalivement. It sounds worse than it is. A particular immortal character decides that they have completed their destiny and wants their soul to move on to a place they can be happy. It's really not at all sad and rather sweet. I was happy for them.

The second is SA of a teenage character by an immortal being. It's not at all descriptive and the act is merely alluded to and is cut short. I personally did not find it triggering and it just made me uncomfortable to think about, but I felt it necessary to give you all the explanation and let you all decide for yourselves if it is something you are comfortable reading.

The biggest reason I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the age of the main characters. Remember when I said it was spicy? Here we go into the spoilers. Torrance and Selena are 16 years old. The gods give Selena birth control and Torrance is sexually assaulted by the sorceress Circe. As I'm sure this book series is marketed towards the YA audience, it might seem natural that the characters are that age. As an adult reading this, I was EXTREMELY uncomfortable reading about 16 year olds having sex. Don't get me wrong, I was doing the same thing at their age. But reading about it makes me feel like I'm doing something illegal. If you're going to have explicit sexual scenes, for the love of God, at least make the characters of legal age so it doesn't feel so creepy reading about it.

So many loose ends…
