I was so excited about this one!
This whole trilogy had me on a roller coaster. I had enjoyed book 1 but didn't love it, I loved book 2 (after dnf-ing the physical copy and instead listening to it) and I was enjoying book 3, until about the halfway mark. The 2nd half left me feeling kind of meh to the whole story.
Much like book 1, book 3 felt a little half baked. Like there was a solid premise, but the solution / conclusion came to her as she wrote it rather than being plotted out ahead of time.
The Percy plot twist of book 1 I thought made no sense. There was no lead up, no clues, it was literally just a twist. But it happened, and the aftermath in book 2 did make sense.
But then to bring him back? And not only that, to make Blythe refuse to kill him? It makes literally no sense, especially considering Fate's curse on him was way worse. Not a single person won in that scenario. Just let him die dude.
With all the build up, the ending just felt anti-climatic.She just had to wait, sadly, for a while, and then everything was fine again. Except for with Percy. His life still sucked I guess.
