Acceleration

Revisado: 03-03-23

Overall I love this series. This book brought closure to many of the main arcs in the series with an unexpected twist at the end. That said, I thought the ending could have used a bit more. What exactly happened with Lucivious? Melen? Also the four never really got to talk about their "evolved" relationship. I would have liked to see them come to terms explicitly with the harem relationship they all shared. The ending implied that this really hadn't happened but also clues that that there may be another book?

End of an epic

Revisado: 01-19-23

This is my second listen of this series and it was just as wonderful as the first time. It has it all, emotion, drama, romance, and some twists that are really difficult to predict.

Spoilers ahead:

I have very few gripes about this series which I will enumerate ahead. First, "titans" in Greek mythology are not well defined. Here the term is basically used to mean any Greek god not an Olympian including Euryale and Stheno. In Greek mythology (ie Hesiod) though, those called Titans are the offspring of Oranos. Euryale and Stheno come from Ceto who came from Pontus and Gaia. This is a minor nit-pick for a book series that gets mythology amazingly correct down to the gorgon's always having wings.

The other issue I have isn't really an issue but more of an open question: why did the author keep Euryale's curse active? Arachnie got her curse lifted when Athena died, but not Euryale? Not fair. I can almost see how the curse was needed because we're Euryale to become human like Arachnie, the bond gift given to Terry would have been revoked. however, this doesn't quite work because Euryale was always a goddess (or Titan in this series), so she would have been the same as Athena in terms of the ability to bestow bind gifts.

Despite these minor issues, I love love love this series and will likely give it another listen in a few years.

Best narration duo ever?

Revisado: 10-12-22

Kieran and Amber make an incredible team. I really enjoyed their performance with the different accents and dynamic volume range for dramatic effect.

This book carries on the fun, action packed adventure. It strikes just the right balance of action, humor and sex. Only thing I felt was short was the death of a certain herold. I think I completely missed it and will have to go back and find it. The escape with Slade was probably the highlight for me.

This book seemed to take forever to produce, but I'm hoping the next will be out sooner.

More Polydora please

Revisado: 09-16-22

loved how Zach takes his new role. Also loved the new characters and am excited to see how they develop with Zach. I wonder who will be the next conquest for Zach and if he will ever fix things up with his human friends or if they will continue to grow more apart.

a deserved ending

Revisado: 08-25-22

I liked this one more than Bride. I was hoping to see justice brought to those conceded Olympians and I got a bit of that. Athena and Perseus were brought down and my opinion of Aphrodite definitely changed from the first book. I loved her arc. I felt bad for Aracnee though.

Overall an entertaining listen. Natasha did a great job. A lot more emotional than Bride too.

A fun frolic in Greek myth but justice?

Revisado: 08-16-22

Following Alex's Odyssey through various adapted Greek myths was fun and even more fun was the attention given to an unjustly maligned, obscure but deserving goddess, Euryale. Alex is a somewhat goofy character, but has a solid heart and is relentless as he stumbles through his trials to be reunited with Euryale. He certainly has me smacking my head at times with his daftness, but his arc is good and in the end, he got what he deserved. as for the others...

(probably spoilers ahead)

I would have liked to see more justice dishes out to the likes of Athena and Aphrodite. What Athena had done to Stheno, Euryale and Medusa is both unjust and unforgivable. I would have liked to see her brought down a few rungs. The gorgon sisters deserve justice but Athena, in this story, seemed to be rewarded with an undeserved victory over Aphrodite.

Aphrodite also seemed to get away with way too much. What she did in screwing with Euryale's heart was not met with any justice except to her pride in losing to Athena. Not enough.

Also, I don't recall Phorcys being that well known of a god, but Jessica seemed to know who he was right off the bat. No mention of Euryale's mom, Ceto either. She's probably more obscure, but still I hope to see her in the next one.

Despite all this, I'm excited to read the sequel and am crossing my fingers for #JusticeForStheno and #JusticeForMedusa. Very good read.

Alex Ford perfect as always

Revisado: 06-22-22

What a cliff hanger ending! I found this entry in the series tugging at different emotions more than the previous books. Anger, rage, happiness, sadness all. Once the story uncovered the truth about Complex, I couldn't put it down.

Alex Ford really brings the story to life. I could really feel her performance especially when Jess gave Will the suit. Powerful stuff. Looking forward to book 5.

super fun

Revisado: 06-12-22

Stephanie's outtakes were so funny. I laughed like an idiot with headphones on.

Oh and the story is excellent. I love the new characters and am excited to see where things go with "Zee" and her tribe.

Deep waters ahead

Revisado: 05-17-22

the depth of the world Crash creates is unlike many I've encountered. Everything from the language, cultures and physics of this world are well thought out and entertaining.

What an ending to this series. Loved every moment.

As for the Performance, wow! Just thinking about the quality and quantity of the many voices Savannah makes my head hurt. Every voice is memorable and appropriate for each character.
