The Struggle by Jennifer L. Armentrout
3.0
The Struggle opens up right where we left off in [b:The Power|26125281|The Power (Titan, #2)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1439936107s/26125281.jpg|44738249] . Shit has hit the fan and the consequences of the actions taken place in The Power start to develop. There’s not much to say without getting too spoiler-y, but I will say this: I was a bit disappointed. I feel like this series could’ve been wrapped up in 3 books. The lack of action in this third installment bothered me. I wanted character development for Josie, and I felt like there was none. She was a damsel in distress the whole book . And Seth...I love Seth, but he has a way of...how do I say this….he doesn’t think. His motto: “destroy now, worry about the consequences later”. You’d think that he would’ve learned by now, but hey, that’s Seth. But I will say this, he has matured, and for that, I am glad.
The Struggle was a bit of a struggle for me. In my opinion, the plot did not move forward in the aspect of getting the Titans back under control. I couldn’t find myself really caring about Josie and Seth’s predicament. And especially since JLA threw in a “twist”, which had me rolling my eyes, because really? For me, it throws a wrench in this whole thing.
I was a bit disappointed with The Struggle. I wanted more action! Less emotional relationship problems. But that didn’t stop me from gobbling it up in 2 days. I hope for so much more in The Prophecy. I wished there was a tiny novella recounting the behind the scenes with Alex and Aiden travelling because honestly, I want more from them. The Covenant series is a favorite and having Alex and Aiden topside in The Struggle took away from Seth and Josie. Seriously, no character or plot development. Nothing new was learned here. Sitting ducks really. However, JLA’s writing definitely helped this book out. She has a way with words that keeps me hooked.
I give it: ⭐⭐⭐
