“A dove has great beauty, but is easily broken.��

This was by far, the most emotional book of the series for me. I actually cried at a few points.

The title of this book is entirely spot on. Maddie, as she would come to be called, was truly a special heroine. A kind, sweet soul who was also utterly broken and damaged. She struggled so much with her own self-worth and deep regrets about the mistakes she's made.

I went into this thinking I would love Apollo. But, much like with the other heroes, he was not without his serious flaws. His unintentional, but still hurtful remarks. His insurmountable pride. And his often frustrating, unyielding stubbornness.

Watching these two come together, to come to truly understand each other, was not an easy or smooth journey. But most things that are worth it never are, through it all, they kept fighting for each other and you could help but pray they worked it all out.

Another thing I loved about this series is the crossover with all the past main characters. I loved seeing Frey and Finnie, Tor and Cora, admittedly I skipped the second book due to the fact it was mentioned by others to contain rape and overt violence - so I did not care about Circe and Dax. But overall it was fun to see the whole main cast of this universe together and fighting against a mutual enemy.

I’m kind of surprised there’s another book in the series though. This one felt quite final to me as it seemed to wrap things up just fine.
