I really liked it. And I especially liked that Willa's situation seems to be more layered than the rather heavy hints that led everyone to believe she was the Chaos Beta. I love every bit of what we learned in this book, honestly. And there was a part that was so shockingly cruel that I cried... which was surprising because this is generally a pretty humorous series. So all around, a really great read.
The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars, for me, is that I feel like all our main characters - yes, even the Abcurses ... it's so easy to see where Willa is missing stuff, because she's so silly, but the Abcurses don't see it either - are a bit slow on the uptake, even when things seem REALLY obvious. I mean, maybe with the Abcurses it is because, as gods, they feel rather invulnerable, and so there's no real drive to figure a situation out? I don't know. But there were several things that I feel like are practically hitting them in the face, and they still don't piece it together.
This book moved the story forward a lot, and I loved that. It also moved forward with the insanely slow burn, which was nice too. I wish she'd told all the guys though (
that she loved them, I mean
), but I get there wasn't a lot of time. I also wish she'd told the guys what she learned with the panteras - I feel like that's another face-slapping obvious thing - but there DEFINITELY wasn't time, so I get that too.
Anyway, happily moving on to book 4!
