Finally finished this series!
The final battle has begun. Kate Winters has been nine months pregnant in captivity by Calliope as Cronus wreaks havoc on the world. Calliope wants Kate's child to be raised as her own. And Kate wants nothing more than to return to her beloved Henry and raise their child together. Cronus offers Kate a deal to keep her child and spare humanity if she promises to be loyal to him, but the deal comes at a steep price, one that may separate her and Henry forever.
I just wanted this series to be over. The first book was good. It was unique and had a touch of romance here and there. Overall, a fine reworking of the myth of Persephone and Hades. Then, there was the second book. The story began to lose momentum, it was as if the author had run out of ideas and had to force the reader to jump through a few hoops to make this series into a trilogy.
One of the really confusing things about this series is that immortality doesn't really mean "immortal." Gods and goddesses can be killed, but not always, but sometimes yes. Needless to say, it was utterly confusing.
I wanted to finish the series because it had been on my to-read list for many years. But, I had no real interest in Kate or Henry as characters after the second book. The romance, which I assumed was supposed to be the main focus of the series, was nearly non-existent in this book. And, in the second book, Kate goes through a period where she is uncertain whether Henry has feelings for her. None of these doubts seemed to be resolved, rather just pushed aside once Kate had her child.
All in all, this was a disappointing end to the series. I had hoped for more, I had hoped for better.
