The Review
This was quite an epic and captivating fairy tale fantasy and mythology novel. The captivating imagery and steady buildup of tension early on in the novel help underscore the vastness of the mythos that the protagonists find themselves thrust into suddenly. The complex dynamics of the Greek gods and demigods, as well as the mythical creatures that inhabit the world and the infamous Titans, helped elevate the stakes that this narrative holds and added a great foil to the more modern era in which the setting takes place.
The core of this narrative had to be in the captivating character dynamics that this book brought to life. The friendship that is tested and highlighted in Zander and Beckett and the romance Beckett builds with another of the immortals are just a couple of the multitude of relationships that the narrative effortlessly brings together and engages with the reader. The emotional depth of the character’s backstories and the heightened tension that builds from those relationships helps drive the action and intensity of the novel’s plot tenfold.
The Verdict
Captivating, entertaining, and gripping, author Melanie P. Smith’s “Divergence” is a must-read fairy tale fantasy and mythology novel and a great first entry into The Immortals franchise. The twists and turns that keep the shocks and mythos alive on the page and the balance of adult storytelling in a fantasy-driven world of gods and monsters made this a complex yet inviting narrative that readers will want to get lost in for hours.

As my followers know, I’m a big Melanie P. Smith fan. I’ve read a great deal of her work, so I was eager to read this novel. This one took me a bit by surprise. The Thin Blue and Paige Carter series are romances but they are also thrillers. The Immortals series is full of suspense, terror, and good guys and bad guys, but it is so much more. In this series, Melanie throws in a supernatural element by pitting demigod against mythical creatures.
Divergence is centered on six immortals, who, with the help of friends, come together to train to fight an ancient evil. The group will be victorious only if they can overcome the lies they were told and the ones they tell themselves, the secrets they hide or that were withheld from them, and the grudges they hold, and if they can learn to accept the truth of who they are and the prophecy about them.
This novel has a large cast, which can be a bit overwhelming, but being with the group as they unlock the secrets to their gifts, learn about to world some of them only thought existed in books, and experience the terror and awe of the many magical battles the group endures makes the story well worth the read. All the will they or won’t they between some of the couples also keeps the reader hooked.
I highly recommend this novel if you looking for excitement, magic, Pegasus, sirens, near-death experiences, love, and epic battles. This novel is a great way to escape the sadness that’s filling our world these days.
