Thoughts: I honestly really loved this book. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the page, even at the "slower" points in the story (if there were any). It had O'Hearn's fast-paced, adventure-packed writing, not to mention plenty of humor. There was just something (for me)... well, missing, something I felt the other books all had. Perhaps it was because of my disappointment of finding that this book was more about Emily's powers disappearing and the appearance of Lorin, the so-called Flame of Titus, than about Olympus and the Titans themselves, and even the CRU. Or maybe it was when I discovered the confrontation between Emily and Lorin only lasted a few minutes. I don't know, really. There was something in this book that just degraded my reading experience a little bit, but DOES NOT make this book not worth reading!On to the more positive stuff: I really loved the character of Lorin. At times, her obsession with Paelen got a little strange for me, as a reader, but it wasn't a major part of the story. It almost felt like the author threw that in there to add to Lorin's motivation, but like I said, it wasn't really necessary. Emily happens to be one of my favorite characters from all the books I've read, because she's really someone you want to look up to and respect. She has this amazing power, which she could abuse and use to threaten Olympus and take over, but that thought never once crosses her mind. She's brave, strong, and extremely caring and loving... which makes her human, realistic, and relatable. Kate O'Hearn really has outdone herself with Emily, because at times I feel like she might actually be real, wandering the streets of Honolulu somewhere.... :) And of course, Paelen, Joel, Pegasus, and surprisingly, Chiron (who was in the story a lot) were all amazing, too.
