I had to seriously skim over the last chapter cause I didn't really care about how it ended. I feel like I didnt like this series because my favorite part about reading is watching characters develop and make progress as a person and I just felt this lacking with just about every character. Even Alex who was supposed to be a different person after his death experience and he just seemed so uninteresting even then. I feel like Meg Cabot just didn't put a lot of thought into a lot of the main characters and I found more connected to secondary characters (like the cemetery sexton! -might have been my fave character) instead of the ones who were supposed to be going through a serious change in their fate. I felt like nothing was really accomplished here, they always seemed to be on a wild goose chase, and any progress made with any romantic relationship had no purpose than to fluff up a cliche story based on greek mythology (which ended up doing most of the plot work for Cabot). All in all, a solid 3 stars because the writing isn't terrible, it is funny in parts, and I have a soft spot for mythology. I just expected much more.
