Kate is faced with some terrible choices this time, and it made her an even stronger character. I had started to have some issues with her during the second novel, so I was glad to see her character back to being strong and independent. She seemed more level-headed this time, with her priorities straight. I love that, whether it works or not, she always sets out to save those she loves.
Henry and Kate together were at their best. There were swoony moments, frustrating moments, happy moments, sad moments. In other words, it was pretty realistic! They faced challenges that most of us never do and it was their relationship that kept them from going off the rails.
Cronus... what an interesting character. Yes, he's powerful and a bit of a psychopath, but somehow I still somehow liked him and sympathized with him a bit. On one hand, he is a murdering bad ass, but other times he just seemed lonely and sweet. It was an emotional rollercoaster!!
Some Quotastic Goodness
--Sadness doesn't equal weakness, sweetheart. If anything, it shows the love you have inside of you, and nothing stronger in this world exists.
--I don't need to be ancient to be worth something.
--I figured Henry might smite me if I went through your underwear.
--You really need to get over your martyr complex. One of these days it’s going to get you killed.
My Recommendation: Read the entire series, and then read this! A great series!
