A good start - I enjoy being back in this world

Is 333 the new 666? Because I didn't see that twist coming :O

I like the dead-sister angle, but I cannot get over how some of the sisters' names are *Mercy* and *Honor* and *Verity*...and then you have characters like *Eulalie*, *Elizabeth*...and the MC *Annaleigh*. She's an okay character so far, but I'm not a big fan of the name.

Colour me impressed! This is such a fresh way to explore Greek mythology.

One chapter in, but omg it's sooo good

I'm disappointed at how cheesy the writing is - like, it's pretty cringey. This is the 5th book in a series that should be focused on the plot...but it's instead, it's scene after scene of one character noticing another character.

Ahh yess, the famed "she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding" has appeared! I'm sooo glad we're out of that era!

And also random action sequences pop up for shock value yet again! Again adding absolutely NOTHING to the plot. Yay!

This definitely reads like a book published in 2016...a lot more "tell" than "show".
Prime example:

Character A is remembering how their mother told them to be confident even if they didn't feel it.
Character A proceeds to say "I will be confident even if I don't feel it". It *should* have been written like: "Character A rolled back their shoulders, tipped up their chin, hinted a smiled, and walked with pride"
