How do you take a hundred little threads, various mythologies/religions, the most complicated love triangle of all time and wrap it all up in a satisfying conclusion to a trilogy?
Read this book to find out (of course, you have to read the other 2 first!).
Amalia had a monumental task in front of her. I have loved each of the installments of the Fates of the Gods trilogy, but I was a bit afraid that there would be no way to end the series satisfactorily. (spoilers for the first two books ahead). In the first book we love Thor and Eve. We ship Thor and Eve. We don't want anything to do with Adam. In the second book we still love Thor and Eve, but Adam ... well, maybe we ship Adam and Eve too. So how do you go into the third book and somehow make all of that work out? You're just going to have to read it and find out.
Amalia's prose continues to grow more polished. Her characters are rich and complex, her storylines intriguing and unique. An excellent conclusion to the trilogy.

A fantastic end to the trilogy.
If you enjoyed any of the past instalments in this epic, epic series, you won't be disappointed. Eve has given birth to Adam's child, Elah, and the end of the world as we know it is in sight. Thor tries to protect Eve from all the various forces conspiring against her, while Adam attempts to save the rest of humankind. Obviously I'm not going to tell you how it all turns out, because that would rob you of the pure joy and pain that is actually reading the story.
All I'll say is that there were moments when I hated the author with every fibre of my being, only to fall completely back in love with her at the next plot point. It's an emotional roller-coaster, and I deeply hope that this isn't the last we see of this wonderful world.

Oh Adam, you crazy bastard <3
The conclusion of Amalia Dillin's Fate of the Gods series was exciting and twisty and I loved it! The world she's created, drawing all the different pantheons together and winding them around each other, was just beautiful. The emotion of the book was palpable, and the final show-down so good I was routing for a character I hated at the beginning. I am definitely reading this series again!
