The Heart

De: Rachel Higginson

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

Ivy Pierce has been to Hades and back trying to escape Nix and his evil plans to use her. After a failed attempt to save her loved ones, she was forced to leave her friends, her sister, and the boy she had fallen in love with, Ryder Sutton.

And yet Olympus isn't finished with her yet.

As Nix plots to overthrow the legendary mountain, Ivy is pulled back into the twisted, manipulative world of the Greek pantheon. Thrust into the middle of an ancient feud, Ivy will quickly learn that Nix is not the only threat to her freedom and not the only god interested in using her unique skill set to resurrect the Age of Olympus.

In a deadly game between two powerful factions of Greek gods, Ivy will have to battle both fate and the Fates in order to secure her future once and for all. She will discover new powers, fight for her friends' lives, and convince the only boy she has ever loved that he can trust her again.

In the end, she'll learn the hardest lesson of all. This isn't a fable or a Greek myth; her life is a love story.

Great ending

Great ending to this series. Ivy and her mothers relationship at the end had me all teared up. I loved this series. In my last review of the 1st book I said how this story leaned more to the young side of YA. I have to change my mind about that, due to the trafficking stuff, and sadistic aspect of Nix. Again the narration was spot on. Brittany does an amazing job.

My one and only issue with this whole series is how much Ivy is in her head ALL the time. I found it frustrating. Almost full chapters of just her in her head. AND throughout the series I would of liked to see her slowly stop doubting herself and self worth, but that's all she does ALL the time, only up until the last few chapters did she slow down with the self loathing, & self doubting. I get after being abused for so long, its excepted, but with her partial escape, and Ryder being such a rock and self esteem booster. I would of liked to see a slow progression of her self esteem picking up, other then just in the final chapters.

Other than that. This was a great story. 5 starts across the board!!!

Well written and great story

This book is well written. The story is exciting and action packed but also compelling. It’s written with maturity and compassion. I really enjoy the entire series.

so much regret

so I'm writing this review after having listened to all 3 books.

first of all the narration was good. I enjoyed it, it was nothing spectacular but I have no complaints. I'd be glad to listen to her stuff in the future.

second, I really wanted to enjoy this story but just couldn't. each book is roughly 11 hours long and feels like it's about 5 hours worth of content. the author has a habit of stretching scenarios out with redundant inner dialogue. the repetitive nature in which events unfold ultimately becomes incredibly painful to the point where you just cry out for the plot to move forward.

third the MC never has any real growth. now it's not necessarily important to me for the character to need to represent growth, but when your MC is mentally and physically weak in the beginning of the book, and never gets any stronger in either regard through the third book. that's a problem. I was also incredibly annoyed by the level of self depreciation that is shown. like I understand the MC has trauma etc, but when she actively makes choices to put herself in bad situations only to cower and freeze up time and time again, it gets rather annoying. theres very little to like about this MC and even worse to like from thr story as a whole. I really wish I hadn't invested my time and money here. I actively regret it.

p.s. the fact that the male lead tells her she's the smartest and bravest girl in the world was like a punch in the gut after experiencing her make the worst possible decision at every opportunity, literally. I'm not sure if it's possible to die from a bad story, but this thing has me on my death bed.

Unfortunate flop…

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, HOWEVER…. this one was a struggle!
The story built to multiple climactic moments which simply plateaued and dragged on. It was as if the author didn’t have enough material for a third book and was simply stalling until there was enough “filler” to justify ending it.
