Kristine's Reviews > Apollyon

This was the second book in a row where I felt like we were going backwards with this series. What does this mean? Well, each book in this series felt like it was building. Building and building, and getting better and better. The level of drama, action, betrayal - the fight between good and evil. The growth of the relationships between those who escaped and who were becoming found family. It just kept getting better and better.

This book however, felt like everything just kind of stopped in its tracks. There were events that didn't really make sense. There was the whole crazy Alex thing which in my opinion, went on WAY too long.

Then there was Aiden. It KILLED me watching him go through everything he went though. Yes, I understand why, I just didn't have to like it.

This was also the first time where there were issues with pacing. The story tended to drag at certain parts - there was way too much time doing the same repetitive things over and over - details that didn't necessarily need to be in the book.

Does that mean I didn't like it? No. I did like it - just not as much. When a book starts to frustrate me, that is never a good thing. But there was some redemption at the end. Another thing was I was SO glad to finally get to the last book in the series. That is also a red flag for me because usually, I'm sad and NOT wanting to get to the last book because it means it will be over too soon.

So, off we go. Time to find out how this wraps up. Truthfully, I have no idea how this is going to go.
