In this last book of the trilogy, Selene (Artemis) is out on her own with Flint (Hephestus), trying to track down their grandfather Saturn/Kronos. They’ve left NYC behind and are in their old European stomping grounds. The all too mortal Theo, believing Selene to be dead, is plotting how to get her back. But it turns out there are larger forces at play – Zeus has been scheming behind everyone’s back to regain his former power.
This story definitely takes an interesting turn from the direction of the prior books, though it’s also a logical step forward if you’re paying attention to your Greek mythology. It’s also got some interesting thoughts on what it really means to be a goddess – definitely not something you’d think so much about if you’re following your Greek mythology – the men really did get the good stories so far back.
I enjoyed this series – it was a really interesting way to bring the Greek gods into the present day.
