Apollyon by Jennifer L. Arementrout
Genre: YA
4 Stars
Eileen from Singing and Reading in the Rain was being the awesomest
human being ever when she decided to share her ARC of Apollyon with me. Thank
you, Thank you, Thank you! I must confess, it felt extremely weird to open up
this ARC. As you all know, I've bought multiple copies of this series, for me
and for my readers. Having done so for so long made me feel weird to read an
ARC!
No worries, folks. I had already pre-ordered my
copy and received it this morning! Weirdness is gone. HA!
On to the review…
(Le sigh… Le sigh some more…)
It is always wonderful to come back to this world time and
time again. After reading both Deity and Elixir, I found myself quite anxious
to know what was to come next. Let’s just say JLA came through on this one too.
It’s a winner, y’all.
This book has what we have all come to expect and love from
the Covenant Series and some. It had action, intrigue, angst, secrets,
revelations, passion, romance, Sentinels, Pures, Apollyons and lots of gods.
You will get a healthy dose of sharing Alex’s brain with
Seth, a trip into Hades and um, more. Much more.
I love Alex. Always have and most likely, always will. She
has come a long way and has grown so much in the last two books. She is no
longer the impulsive loner who reacts first and deals with the consequences
later. She is selfless, more now than ever before. She is also trying to live in the now, appreciating
those who surround her with love, realizing that tomorrow is not promised.
I love Aiden. Always
have and most likely, always will. He is literally Alex’s rock. Although, I
could easily make this about Alex and Aiden, I won’t. This book really is so much more than a
romance. What I will say is that Alex
has never had stability. Aiden’s love, loyalty and devotion give Alex
stability. With that she finds the strength and courage to make tough decisions
and sacrifices.
As I mentioned before there is romance. This would not be a Jennifer L. Armentrout book if steam didn't lift off the pages. You’ll be satisfied. Like, REALLY satisfied.
It’s just a great read with lots of growth and consistency
in the writing. That in itself is amazing. As we get closer to the end I can’t
help but to feel sad. Sentinel will be released towards the end of the year and
it will be the last book in the series. So many things can happen. JLA can take
the ending in so many directions. This book wasn't predictable and if JLA
continues to write like this, Sentinel won’t be either. I'm counting
down the seconds until I can get my copy of Sentinel and anything else that
comes in between.
