So this final book, well I finished Dreamless about lunch time then started reading Goddess pretty much straight away and by 11pm that same night I had finished it. That should tell you something. I have to say to begin with I wasn't finding myself as gripped at the offset, but that quickly changed. Again with the love story I could have gone either way here with Helen choosing Lucas or Orion, but I am glad she chose who she did and that everyone (almost) ended up with who they should have been. I loved the merging of more Gods for the battle although I was hoping for some major bad ass battle between Helen and one of them, but I suppose after Ares in the last one that's maybe a bit mean. I was shocked with Hector and so glad that got resolved because he was just like a big protective teddy bear. One thing I have enjoyed with this series is how Hades has come across. I have to say after reading this whole trilogy in a matter of days, it's given me a serious case of book hangover. I do wonder if we'll ever delve back into this world at some point, I mean I'd like to see what happens if the other Olympians tried to get revenge or when Lucas was finally called to the Underworld.
to be honest the only thing i liked about that book was the mythology and how she portrayed the gods... otherwise: helena hamilton is next to zoey redbird the biggest mary sue i've ever read about.
the other characters were likeable, i still love hector more than anything and his character development was beautiful. but otherwise almost everyone annoyed me. most of all selfish daphne and i'm-so-perfect- helena. sorry , so only two stars (most of all because of the main character , i mean seriously is there something she cant do and someone who doesnt love her?)

Can't believe it's over. This book was one of the best I've ever read. It's exciting from the first sentence 'til the last. It was hard to put it down.

I didn't think it could get worse after the first 2 books but this is even more all over the place and incoherent than the og books.
Greek Hellenism is being appropriated into a shallow interpretation of the mythology. The main character is seriously overpowered with no real explanation as to why she gets to be the one who gets all of these abilities instead of one of her two blood brothers.
The story also takes the easy and boring(and somewhat squicky) way out of the self-imposed love triangle.
It's very obvious that this was written post-Twilight and wanted to emulate the hype with a different type of supernatural, powerful beings and cultural appropriation. Do not read this or the sequels - I doubt they're any better.

Една страхотна трилогия, разказваща наистина реалистична история. Харесват ми героите. Дори ги обожавам, макар че на моменти са толкова глупави, че ми късат нервите. Но не мога да ги оставя, не и за дълго.
Детайлите бяха чудесни. Можех да си представя острова, фара, хората и магазините. Самите герои се развиваха и научаваха много. И ти просто се радваш, че си там и следиш това развитие.
Хареса ми всичко. Поздравления за авторката, Джоузефин Анджелини. Справила се е блестящо.

So much happened in this book, and I had literally no memory of reading this one. Honestly so much happened that I don’t know what I remember from what I just read. Phew! Also just found out that there’s more books in this series? Guess I’ll be adding those to the TBR.
