The Return by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
A spin-off to the Covenant series, this next trilogy focuses on Seth as he works with the gods to help restore balance to the world after several titans are freed.
I really loved learning more about Seth. He was one of the more intriguing characters from the previous series. I also enjoyed the secondary characters, although the majority were characters from the previous series. However, I struggled to really love Josie. It's not that she is a poorly written character, it's that she reminds me so much of other female characters in past JLA books. I didn't feel anything really set her apart, particularly from Alex in the Covenant series.
I absolutely loved the setting. I don't know what it is about Greek mythology, but it gets me excited every time. The plot hooked me completely as it explored the titans and demigods. I'm less excited about the turmoil between the full bloods and half bloods, although I do appreciate her intertwining the past narrative with the current narrative.
tl;dr Really interesting plot and mostly enjoyable characters adapt to the events from the previous series.
