A review by angie_stl
Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon

5.0

I really liked Acheron, but who wouldn't, considering the main character? I was really excited when I realized who Ash's heroine was going to be, I liked her in her first appearance in the series, so I was very happy to see her return all grown up. I did feel that the book was bogged down by all the history, though I understand why it was important and why it was separated into two parts. I may not have felt so bogged down if I'd read the whole thing rather than trying to listen to it. I find my mind sometimes wanders when I listen, especially the first time, plus I didn't really care for the voice actor. And I really thought there would be more Simi in this book, but I still have hopes that she'll get her own book some day. I loved seeing a different side of Apollymi in this one, it shows that she's not just a crazed psychopath out to destroy everything, even if she is The Great Destroyer. Even she has her reasons.

I was afraid that I'd be tired of the series after reading this, because come on, 800+ pages for one story is a bit much, but I want to know what happens to all these other wonderful characters just as much as I wanted to know about Acheron, especially Nick!! I can't wait to jump into his story, though I find it hard to imagine as a YA series, considering he swears like a sailor and is as bitter as they come!! But I shall see!
