So in my opinion, this book was not as bad as some people made it seem. Going into this book, i had very low expectations. One of my problems with this book was that some things were kind of just forgotten in this book. I also didn’t find the characters that compelling, however I did enjoy Isla.

Celeste’s betrayal was probably one of the best parts of this book, and definitely the most interesting, however the book didn’t really talk about what will happen to the rest of the Starlings now that she is dead. I didn’t really like Isla and Oro together, and at first I was team Grim, and now I like neither of them. I also felt like lots of things in this book is not very believable. Otherwise, this book wasn’t too bad.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I hate Jordy so much, and I really enjoyed  the ending of the book, although I wish we had a bit more closure. I felt that Maya and Skye’s relationship was rushed, but otherwise I really enjoyed the book.

This book felt like a very satisfying ending to the series. 

I was glad Apollo became a god again since it was the most realistic ending to the series, but it was also kind of sad since one day he’ll have to see Meg die. The adventures were really fun, and I liked seeing Apollo talk to everyone again at the end of the book.

I was honestly no that interested while reading this book, and I frankly don’t even really remember what happened, but I did enjoy reading it.

This book was so good. 

Aaron and Juliette/Ella were separated for so long, and it was so perfect when they were finally reunited. AND WHEN HE PROPOSED TO HER AND SHE THREW HIM A BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!
