Deity The Third Covenant Novel Jennifer L Armentrout Books

I feel like I'm raining on everyone's parade. I had a hard time with the beginning of this novel and I'd really just thrown back the first two in one sitting. I found the beginning a little stilted. More than the other novels, parts of this third installment in the Convenant series seem so similar to the Vampire Academy series (replaced half-bloods for dhamphirs and pure-bloods for vampires/Moroi). The beginning of the novel is really about secrets and hoping that the Council never finds out what happened in the Catskills.

The novel gets better towards the middle and leaves you with a breathtaking cliffhanger ending that leaves you wanting more. Once you get past the beginning, you're addicted as it gets more fast-paced with scenes set to make your adrenaline sore. The totally not believable love triangle between Seth and Alex is annoying. It's obvious especially in this book, that despite what joins them "like two halves of one coin" as both are the Apollyon, is also what will and should tear them apart. Parts of Alexandria's monologues ruminating on Seth sound like a dysfunctional relationship. And Seth comes off as more and more untrustworthy. There were times when he just gave me the plain creeps.

If you've made it as far as book three than you love Aiden and this book has such delicious chemistry (and many, many scenes) with Aiden. But still, this pureblood took a backseat to the book's surprising godly comic relief. When things get messy down on Earth, Mount Olympus is going to rain down from heaven and unfortunately, not all the gods have an incredible sense of humor or attachment to their many half-blood and pure-blood grandchildren (many times over, of course).

Deity The Third Covenant Novel Jennifer L Armentrout Books Reviews

My first reaction after finishing Deity What the hell just happened?

I've never read a book that screwed with my emotions as much as Deity.

I don't even know where to begin without spoiling anything, because there is so much that happens in Deity. So. Much.

Earlier on in the series we learn about Alex being the second Apollyon. In PURE, we learn that she is considered a threat and that the Furies want her dead.Well, I thought shiznit (trying to keep it PG here) went down in Pure...but I was wrong. Deity takes it to a whole other level.

Deity is built upon secrets. Everyone has one - some of which can be harmful to others. Alex has grown a lot since the beginning of the series. She's always been a tough heroine, but she's finally beginning to see that knee-jerk reactions can be problematic.

She's killed her mother. She's lost her best friend. And she has found out that she is the second Apollyon; and that by fate, she is destined to be one with Seth. Enough for any teenager to have to deal with, right? Nope. Alex's life gets turned upside down in Deity. She's running off of hope that she can stop the First from becoming the God Killer. But hope isn't enough.

Honestly, this is a hard book to review because I really can't justify spoiling the story. No matter how much I may want to talk about all the feelings I have right now. My Aiden fangirl is happy, or she was happy until, you know...but my Seth fangirl? My heart is hurting.

As someone who isn't really a fan of love triangles (something I've stated before), I found myself worried when I started Pure last year. But then when I finished Pure, and saw where Armentrout was taking the story, I found that I didn't mind the love triangle. In fact, going into Deity, I was actually a fan of both boys. But then my Seth fangirl died out about halfway in - it's hard not to like Seth, until you reach the mid point in Deity. That is all I'm saying on that one. That. Is. All.

Deity made me want to throw my book across the room numerous times, and to me, that just shows how great Armentrout is at her craft. Because when a reader is that invested in characters from a book, the author has clearly done something right.

Oh, and that ending? I need the next book pronto!
The Good

I read this in one sitting. Then I came to that ending! UGH Armentrout has a knack of tearing you up with an ending and have you salivating for the next book. I'm going to take a bit of a break on this series though after this one and finish the rest later.

So much happens. I'm loving the mythology that runs rampant through the story and how that aspect is so different from what I've read before. I just love these characters as well. I think it's great that Alex has a hard time really trusting anyone and it makes me suspicious of EVERYONE while reading. Even characters she may not be.

While I did call one of the surprises, I was still surprised by other twists that took place. Just about everyone should have at least one shock, even those that are excellent at predicting what could come. The story is rocketing into new territory by the end of this one. Deity is definitely a book that turns the series on its head.

The Bad

Alex goes through so much in Deity, but her choices have a way of landing her in a bunch of trouble. While I love her, that's definitely an area of her character that I hope to enjoy seeing more growth in through future books.

The Romance

Alex does have two guys vying for her attention, but the truth is I've only felt that one is a viable option. I really liked where this one went in terms of romance. It really moved things along on that front.

Conclusion

Deity is full of twists and surprises. Some you may see coming, but I bet you won't be able to guess them all. There is a good amount of action and intensity. There are truths revealed and some great depths into the characters with more background information revealed. Alex does have a habit of making some wrong choices, and I do hope to see that part of her character grow in the future. The ending is one that will have you yelling at Armentrout for a bit. Recommended.
