For 3 books we are reminded of how Eve is a scary, villainous, degenerate, untrustworthy character and I have to say meeting her was disappointing.
Many of the “bad” things that other characters thought about her make for an interesting character for Eve herself but when we meet her she is very much bland and appeasing to anyone around her. Never once she challenges the Fates, she very quickly accepts what her fate is and what the task given to her is and she goes on to do it.
I would have preferred a more strong character, even angrier to be fair. Never once we are told how she died, or why.
She doesn’t seem very flashed out as a character and Kelley is starting to write all her women to sound very alike!
