In the previous book, I felt sympathy towards Medea. I appreciate Aphrodite more than I did when she was initially introduced, and I am happy with the way she has evolved throughout the series.
The book was enjoyable, on par with the rest of the series. But I'm frustrated, and I'm still left with a "Hey, you'd better fix this" mentality. In the case of Venus Rising, the factor that prevents me from outright hating the ending feels kind of like it was just plugged in there in response to an editor saying, "Hey, you'd better fix this." I don't know. Best way I can explain is by saying that Mission Impossible 3 remains my favorite although the subsequent movies were really great, I have a hard time enjoying them because they damaged the ending of the 3rd movie. It frustrates me when the ending previously enjoyed by the main characters of the first three books is interrupted the the next three books. The Aphrodite portion gets 4 stars, but the Persephone portion only gets 3. I have mixed feelings on this installment of the series, to be honest. *I received a free copy of this ebook through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*ģ.5 stars. Unfortunately, they’ll have to find her first. It will take the whole Pantheon to get her out of this mess.

especially a Pantheon sympathizer like Aphrodite. In the chaos, the demigods have risen up, blaming the gods for their misfortune.
When Medea moved the island, she rendered it unstable. But Medea has her own demands, and if Aphrodite wants to survive-not to mention find Hades and the weapons cache-she has to meet them.īut all their plans take a back seat when they find themselves in even more pressing danger. Help arrives in the form of an unlikely ally. If that happens, she’ll wish she were dead. Worse, she knows it’s only a matter of time before the demigods figure out she’s a goddess. She’s stranded on the island of the DAMNED-without powers and without her beloved Ares.
