For the Goddess of Wisdom, what Athena didn't know could fill a book. That's what Ares said.
So she was wrong about some things. So the assault on Olympus left them beaten and scattered and possibly dead. So they have to fight the Fates themselves, who, it turns out, are the source of the gods' illness. And sure, Athena is stuck in the underworld, holding the body of the only hero she has ever loved.
But Hermes is still topside, trying to power up Andie and Henry before he runs out of time and dies, or the Fates arrive to eat their faces.
And Cassandra is up there somewhere too. On a quest for death. With the god of death.
Just because things haven't gone exactly according to plan, it doesn't mean they've lost. They've only mostly lost. And there's a big difference.
My Review:
This was a fantastic read! This is the final book in this series, and I'm getting a sense of what Kendare Blake is like for finishing series, they're satisfying, but they're not all sunshine and rainbows, there's costs, and there's loss, and they're just so good!
Everybody is in a rough space at the moment after the end of the last book. Athena is in the border of the Underworld with Odysseus, so he can't die, but he can't heal. Casandra and Calypso are off trying to kill the gods. And Andie, Henry and Hermes are home, not knowing if everybody else is alive or not.
The threat of the Fates has been shown that they are the big bads, that Atropos is the one causing the gods to die. But that Cassandra is also connected to them, that's pretty important! I love watching all their paths and how they came back together!
That ending was just something else! This series doesn't pull its punches, and yeah,the events in that ending was pretty brutal. Things worked out in the end, but that doesn't take away from all that they went through throughout this series!
I loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Kendare Blake!
