I was so excited for this book to come out that I couldn't even read it right away. Seth has always been a rather enigmatic character. The guy has layers. If I were to compare the Covenant / Titan series to the Star Wars series, Seth would be Darth Vader because even though he may not be the narrator all the time, the story has always really been about him. That all being said... I will pretty much read anything about him and love it. 
 However, this story wasn't really all that exciting. Not a whole lot of events happen to move the overall story line of the series forward. All the real action happens in the last few chapters. The vast majority of this story relies on the relationship between Seth and Josie. (view spoiler)[ O MY GOSH THEY FINALLY DO IT!!!!! And all the sexy parts were pretty steamy. I would expect no less from Seth! (hide spoiler)] Josie became fairly whiny though out the story. I don't want to compare her to Alex, (view spoiler)[since Alex and Aiden come back in this story... (hide spoiler)] but if there were a competition to see who the better heroine would be, it's Alex hands down. I just want to see more from Josie. She comes off as somewhat ineffectual. 
 OK... let's get into the main event of the book. The big climatic fight scene. All the rest of this will be in spoilers so no one has to curse my name... (view spoiler)[In the big fight scene with Atlas, Seth becomes the God Killer. (Seriously guys, that scene was incredible. O my wow! Solos! NOOOO! That was a pretty brutal death scene.) Everyone thought it was Alex because hello, she killed Ares. I always thought that she became the God Killer because Seth gave it to her. I always felt like he was the real power source in that. I don't know if that theory will really factor in to how he is now the God Killer or not. I just want to feel justified in my crazy fangirl-dom! (hide spoiler)] 
 We just scratched the surface of all these new character developments. (view spoiler)[Seth kept mentioning that he had this essence inside him that's constantly seeking aether. Perhaps the God Killer is a separate entity that's linked to him? Josie keeps getting headaches and weird dreams and foreboding feelings... maybe she's having some oracle tendencies? (hide spoiler)] I want answers now and I have to wait an entire year to get them. UGH!!!! I will always love this series but in the scheme of things, this installment was a tiny bit lacking. I just wish it really drove the plot forward more. 
 P.S. (view spoiler)[Hercules is a douche-bag but I think he will be a big ally to Seth in the rest of the series. MARK MY WORDS! Also, I'm glad they found a new demigod, Gable. Hopefully, we will get to know him better in The Struggle and find some more of them. (hide spoiler)]
