I loved the first two books so much so this one really turned out to be such a disappointment. The first half the book felt like such a drag and a lot of going over things that we had already gone through in the first two books. The second half picks up and gets interesting but it felt like not enough time was spent fleshing out the other characters and waaaaay too much time on Apollo. 

By the end of the book so many questions are left unanswered and trust me, I don't need everything spoon fed to me to enjoy a book but this book took it a bit too far. For example

are we really supposed to believe that its just love that broke Jack's curse? Why didn't we get a hint about the apples? Where does Eva get her magical abilities from?

 

Overall the series was enjoyable but I knew the moment that

she lost her memories

at the end of the second book that I wasn't going to be enjoying the third. I tried to keep an open mind as I really do love how this is told as more of a fairytale than a story but it just wasn't for me.
