REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from the author and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I am not sure how to put in words this book.
Maybe because it was a trip down to memory lane with the cameos and the characters I didn't expect to see? Or maybe it was because of the difficult week that left me so drained that I couldn't even finish this before its time.
No matter what the third book in the Origin series was filled with emotion, a slow-building plot, and friendships developing over the pages. Evie and Luc had to deal with lots of conspiracies, the chilling realization that Daedalus was bonkers crazy, and also the past that shaped both of them, for better...or worse.
While I don't want to give away the plot I had to admire Evie. She grows a lot and she tries to handle the powers she discovers that she has. It's amazing also that she has very supportive friends and Luc who loves her to the point of obsession (a healthy dose of it but he truly does).
The rest of the story felt a little slow to be but no less endearing and a trip to nostalgia, making me remember back in 2013 when Lux came to my hands and I had first read of Kat's and Daemon's story. And seeing, reading about all of them together made me remember why I still love these books so much.
The ending was a classic Jennifer Armentrout cliffhanger, making me beg for more and also to wish for a good ending because the way the situation was left? It will torture at me until next year!
And don't miss the first two books of the series!
