Por qué a Hades siempre le van tan mal D:

Original de: El Blog del Gato - El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Esta serie me gustó desde el inicio porque si bien una gran parte de su trama tiene la influencia en mitología griega, la escritora mete una especie de jerarquía seelie y unseelie con sus SkyLords y DarkLords, todo envuelto con batallas, espadas, romance y humor. Está de lejos de ser la trilogía perfecta, quizás, pero me dio lo qué como lectora busco: pasar un buen rato mientras me hacen morir de los nervios

At the end of The Immortal Throne, Ms. Despain has a note that mentions how, thanks to the closing of her publishing house, the final section of Daphne and Haden’s story may have never been published. I am so thankful for Carolrhoda Lab for picking up the series and allowing the fans to find out what happens. To never find out would have been a tragedy because their story is so much fun.

The Immortal Throne picks up right where the previous book ended. While Ms. Despain does try to connect the two by providing some of the backstory, there is no doubt that this is the continuation of a series with the assumption that the reader has read the first two books. All of the characters from the first two novels are here with minimal reintroduction. The book starts with the action already in progress, further taxing a reader’s memory as they must recall all that happened up to this point. Granted, nothing about the story is very convoluted, but for those who may not have read the previous two books recently before starting the finale, it can be a bit overwhelming at first.

Thankfully, that is really the only issue you will find with the book. Haden and Daphne are just as cute a couple as ever. The story ends with a satisfying and intriguing conclusion that will please the romantics and cause imaginations to run wild. Ms. Despain does a tremendous job utilizing Greek mythology as the basis for her story all the while adding her own spin to create something fresh and exciting. For younger readers, it provides a great introduction to Greek mythology without getting into the weeds. The Immortal Throne is not the most intellectually stimulating ever, but it is a satisfying and creative story that entertains.
