***This review may contain spoilers for books #1 & 2 in this series.***
My Life From Hell is the awesome final showdown in the Blooming Goddess Trilogy. In this book, Sophie tries to prepare for the apocalypse - rather unsuccessfully and ends up getting sent back to Persephone's life in order to learn the lessons she needs to win. But can she figure out what those lessons are?
What I LOVED:
The characters.
We got LOTS more of all the characters we love in this book! Kai and Sophie are still together, but they're having some communication issues (they've spent quite a lot of time avoiding their Persephone issues by making out). Sophie's relationship with Hannah also gets a bit sticky. We get lots of Theo and Festus in this book. And we get to see all of these characters in their pre-Sophie lives, which I loved! We also meet a new character named Oizys, a cool goth type girl who I ended up absolutely loving. Her snarkiness definitely rivaled Sophie's!
Twists and turns.
I was never quite sure what was going to happen next in this book! There were tons of interesting twists and turns that led us to that final battle. And then the showdown itself - some big surprises!!
The final message.
In the end, Sophie learns some pretty important lessons about herself and about what's really important. The final battle wasn't won in the way I expected at all, and Sophie's premonitions all come true in ways that were surprising too. I don't want to spoil what happens or what Sophie's conclusions were, but suffice it to say that Darling put some powerful messages in her book that really lifted the series to a new level.
The negatives:
Nothing.
I don't really have any negatives for this book. I will say that it didn't quite capture my attention as much at the beginning as the first two, but I was really distracted while reading this one (I was in the hospital with my daughter - everything's okay, but it didn't make for the best uncluttered reading time). So, I'm not even counting this as a real negative.
Darling has given us an exciting conclusion to The Blooming Goddess Trilogy! I'm sad to see this excellent series end. I give it 5/5 stars.
