I still like The Covenant series better, because I still like Alex more than Josie, but Seth is pretty awesome as usual. I was hoping for a lot more action, but it was still pretty good throughout! Full review on my blog https://literarydust.wordpress.com/2017/03/10/review-the-struggle/
"Loving him meant that I knew from the first moment that I fell for Seth that he was complicated – that loving him wouldn’t be easy. Loving him…Well, it meant that I was willing to fight for him."
This is definitely the most emotional book in the series, for now, I still have to read the last one.
This volume is about struggle and truth, about acceptance and collaboration, because only together they will succeed. This volume isn't centered too much around Seth and Josie, it is more centered around their fight against the titans and I really like that, because I was afraid I'll get bored with them if I'd only read about them.
I also liked that the characters we've met in the second volume were very much present here and they were much more important than they were in the second book.
Overall, I really really enjoyed this one, I even liked it more than the second volume and it made me so excited for the next one.
Honestly... so many things to be excited for.
Like... JOSIE IS PREGNANT OMFGG
Seth's reaction made me weak in the knees.

I don't even remember when I read [b:The Power|26125281|The Power (Titan, #2)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1439936107l/26125281._SY75_.jpg|44738249], but I dived into this hoping I'd remember what had happened before. And it worked pretty well! The past events with the Titan Hyperion came back. I vaguely remember some of the side characters like Solos, but the main characters are impossible to forget. I loved Alex when I first met her in Half-Blood and she's still one of my faves.
The Struggle picks up almost right from where The Power left off. Josie and her new crew are dealing with trying to entomb the Titans while Seth, a newly minted god-killer, has removed himself from the playing field. He fears hurting Josie and has only begun to discover his true powers. Meanwhile Josie attempts to go after Seth, but is captured by Hyperion and the other Titans.
This installment really ramped up the overall tension of this series. Several consequences come into place and they're going to extend into the next book as well. I loved seeing Josie and Seth begin to work through their relationship rather than Seth constantly run away. I loved seeing all the old characters I love and even some of the gods, even if they're very unhelpful. Reading this book brought me straight back to the world set up in the Covenant series and I didn't realize how much I missed it.
I feel like the next book is going to be an explosion of action and I am so curious to see how everything will end!

4.5 out of 5 Stars
Wasn't as action packed as the last two books in the series but I really didn't mind it. Seth and Josie's relationship more than made up for it. And this book seemed more like a filler to prepare for the big finale. We find out lots of revelations in here that make the stakes even higher for the big battle that will inevitably happen. Sucks we have to wait a whole year for the finale but I'm very excited for it! I have faith everything will work out in the end. Seth deserves a happy ending.

This is by far the best of the series in my opinion. I credit part of that to listening to it on audio, the narration brings so much to the book. The narrators did such an amazing job bringing the characters to life. The other part is the book itself, this had the perfect balance of action and development. The next book comes out soon and I can't wait to see where things go next.
This picks up pretty much where the last book ended, after Seth takes out Atlas and is running away from Josie. Seth thinks he's protecting her by leaving her, but man is he wrong. Seth heads home and finds that his childhood home has been transformed into a sort of shrine to him. There is a temple with priests and priestesses there in his honor. Seth also learns that he is more than just the Apollyon. Seth learns quite a bit about his addiction to ether, and in time learns to control his hunger and his new powers. Meanwhile back and the ranch, well Gable's house, Josie is defending Seth to the Army of Awesome and she is determined to go after him. It turns out killing a Titan is a bad idea and it has consequences that no one thought to disclose prior to the AOA going to find the other demi-gods. Josie is still determined to find Seth and prove that he's not the bad guy everyone thinks he is, because with her he's a different person than the one they all know and remember. Alex and Josie come to a friendly agreement regarding Seth when Josie is snapped up by the Titans. Seth has no idea Josie has been taken, and when he finally comes to his senses to go back to her it is way to late. Josie has been with the Titans for days. Eventually they get her back, and Josie isn't healing from her time with them. Seth is of course irate and eventually calls to Apollo for help. There is a ton more action in this book that I was missing in the previous book, that action has consequences though. Seth being Seth, is willing to face those consequences if it means Josie is safe from the Titans.
There is a ton of interaction between Seth and Aiden. They aren't best buddies, but I think they've come to a mutual respect of one another. Seth doesn't really like anyone but himself and Josie. Josie and Alex finally begin to develop a friendship. Alex really steps up and is there for Josie as she is recovering from her ordeal with the Titans. Seth really grows up quite a bit, but he's still got a long way to go. He doesn't lose his arrogant charm, and he has some pretty funny lines in the book. Josie and Seth's relationship is fairly sweet, but there are still some things they need to work out. I won't post any spoilers, go read the book.

This book was such an emotional ride, really enjoyed this book. I had been in a reading slum and this book was able to sweep me off. I could not get enough of this world. I love all the characters because they have their own unique voice in the story. I loved seeing Aiden and Alex we got to see soooo much of them. It was also really great to see seths growth as a character. Really loved this book.
Ooohhh!!! Things are getting very interesting and really hot. Can't wait to see how this all ends in the next and final book (I think). Anyway, really hoping there's a HEA for the gang but that just simple doesn't seem likely. Somethings is destined to happen when the gang goes up against the Titans and I'm sure all will not end well.
I'm so disappointed. I really, really should not have started this series. And then to throw in a pregnancy like it's going to make some sense, howwww?? That alone killed the little interest I had since beginning this book.
I was obsessed with Seth in the Covenant series and my guy deserves a series that befits him, but unfortunately, this entire series falls short. I can't believe I still have one more book to read. Jesus take the wheel.
Well . . . I thought this was the last book in the series, but turns out there’s one more to go.
So.
What exactly was the point of this book?
Not a whole lot happened to be honest. There were a few major plot points, but nothing that couldn’t have been wrapped up in this book imo.
And I’m so very sorry, but Seth is too overpowered at the moment. I want to see a weakness in him that’s not Josie. I want to see an actual STRUGGLE, ya know?
