Entropy ( Tessa Avery book 3)
By Lucy Roy

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Just how much pain can someone experience before they break? How much more loss can they suffer when there's no end in sight?

In the wake of unimaginable tragedy, chaos reigns. Not only have the stakes gone higher with Cronus and his allies attacking from all sides, but there's a new player in the game. Someone I trusted and cared about, someone I called a friend. Not only has he betrayed me, but he's also responsible for taking my best friend prisoner.

As we tirelessly search for answers, Earth has become a battleground. Each day, it seems the moment we get close to solving one problem, another crops up greater than the last, leading us to something not even the Olympians could see coming.

This was just absolutely brilliant! I even felt a tear run down my cheek at the memorial! This trilogy has been such a pleasure to read with amazing characters! I love the idea behind it and love reading what people to with the legendary Greek gods and titans! Would thoroughly recommend!

I was hesitant at first with this being the first reboot with Robert Pattinson as Batman. But I was pleasantly surprised, he played a darker and more brooding version of Batman than previous actors. While I loved the Christopher Nolan trilogy, this may be up there with them.
Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman was a good interpretation and as independent as you would want her to be. Also I knew that Colin Farrell was playing Penguin, but if I hadn’t have already known, I definitely wouldn’t have guessed!
The Riddler was much more insane than I could ever have imagined, and I think Paul Dano played him perfectly. I enjoyed watching his riddles unfold and him thinking his relationship with Batman was so much more than it was.
I loved how they changed well know places in Liverpool into the backdrop of Gotham, and once they were done with the editing if you weren’t as familiar with them you probably would have thought they were made for Gotham.
The only thing that stopped me from giving this 10/10 was the length of the film, it was extremely long but it did keep my attention for the entirety. I will definitely be recommending this to anyone!

Exhausting; Exhilarating; Shocking; Satisfying; Breathtaking; Epic - just some of the words I would use to describe this book and the series as a whole.

In this book you sort of get two stories overlapping, one concluding and then one starting - both of which will pull you in and keep you reading. I loved how this book rounded things off and tied them all together. There are still twists and turns aplenty so you will definitely not be bored. And one thing that I will say about the ending is that are little "mini" epilogues for the main characters which somehow just seem to fit better than one big one.

I won't write about the storyline as that has already been covered by others. What I will say is that the whole series is one of the best that I have read in a long time - 3 books in 3 days! This series is definitely a keeper and although I have read the Kindle versions, I will be buying the "real" books too! There is a new series coming out this year called The Darksouls Trilogy which I'm hoping will have a couple of familiar faces in there somewhere.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

I will admit that when I started reading this book, I thought I was on the wrong one! Mainly because the synopsis is all about Valla, but when it starts, it's about Hathos instead. However, this quickly sorts itself out as Valla arrives back home, still searching for that elusive something. When Hathos tells her that he has seen a vision of her accompanying him on a mission to the south, she jumps at the chance.

In Dragon Soul, you mainly get Valla and Vadin, but then you do get parts of Hathos and Oliana too. I loved how this was written, at the slowly developing relationship between the two pairs, even in dire circumstances. Of them all, Vadin has the most difficult journey, but with Valla by his side, he can conquer anything - even his own fears.

Very well written, smooth and well-paced, this is the perfect ending to the Dragon Clan Trilogy. I have been lucky enough to read all three and from my personal experience, can definitely recommend all three.
