I waited far too long to finish this trilogy, however, I must say I was satisfied with the ending. While pedantic at times, Miles still managed to weave together a mystery while Emily hunted for answers. I enjoyed the varied perspectives between Emily and JD and also the history behind the Furies connection with Ascension. I also felt slightly more of the thriller aspect coming through in this final instalment as well. If you've been reading the trilogy, I implore you to finish, and if you haven't, start. The Furies trilogy is light hearted, a little bit wicked, and an easy carefree read.

While I didn't like this book quite as much as the second in the trilogy which was excellent, I did still enjoy it quite a bit. I'm still absolutely in love with the mythology aspect of this series, I haven't come across any other series based on this myth but I would really love to. It's an incredibly intriguing story! This book was definitely the most action packed of the series with twists and turns all over the place! The characters were much more complex as well and I grew quite attached to them, especially Crow and JD. Totally different characters but I loved them both to pieces. All in all, the story was wrapped up quite nicely and I thought the ending was perfect but I would have liked more details on certain aspects of the mythology.

Eternity is the much anticipated finale to the Fury trilogy which I highly enjoyed. If you read my review of Fury, you would know I wasn't that excited about it, but Envy? I really loved that book. So it is an understatement when I say I was excited for Eternity. I have to say, I wasn't disappointed with the way Elizabeth Miles wrapped up the story, even though it felt a bit rushed towards the end.
As with the previous two books, we get interchanging POVs.. this time there is Em, JD, and even Crow, the last two being the two love interests, though this trilogy doesn't really center around the romance. By the time I was getting so frustrated with the three furies, but the good kind. The kind that makes me want to read the novel faster trying to reach the end and find out how to defeat those three damned girls/furies. I'm glad we got to see more of Crow because he was such an intriguing character to me. As for JD, I am just not a fan of him because he felt a little bit too desperate for me. However both characters grow on you and even though they are different, you do like them both. As for Em, she had her ups and downs but she also really grew on me.
I have to point out that what makes this trilogy is the creepy factor which is incorporated in creepy descriptions and settings. I loved the way Elizabeth Miles describes everything and I have to admit I was spooked from time to time reading these books. I've read a couple of greek mythology novels and in all honesty this trilogy is the only one that I actually really enjoyed. I definitely recommend it to greek mythology fans. Only pass the verdict after you read Fury AND Envy because I was about to give up the trilogy but I picked up Envy, and I am glad I did!

I thought that this was a disappointing ending to this series.
The first three quarters of this book was pining. Emily was distraught over Crow vs JD. JD was Emily vs Ty. Crow was all Emily. System. Overload. I found that after the first couple chapters, I really didn't care that Emily and JD had grown apart and all Emily wanted to do was to protect him.
With the ending, not all of my questions were answered. What happens with Melissa and JD? Do they still talk or something? What about Emily? How does her life change after what happened with Ty? I felt like their were still things that I wanted to know that I won't know now.
Even with all of this, the book had it's high points. The last 50 pages were really good. I liked way that this problem is dealt with (even if it was really, really, cheesy).
This wasn't a bad series, I think there was just too much pining and love triangles. Overall, I enjoyed this book and its series. Definitely for the fans of Greek mythology.
