Adonis or Ares? Why Choose?
I love the world building in this series; The Fifth Gate is different from the four books which preceded it. Penelope’s fight is not just with Ares but with her own feelings.
This book was a lot shorter than previous books and there were fewer battles and fight scenes. It did feel like there could have been more to it than there was; it was a bit of a race to the finish line.
We’ve seen a lot of sexual tension between Penelope and Adonis throughout the series but in this book Adonis is injured and unable to help Penelope in the final battle at the fifth gate. Just as well really, because the attraction and tension between her and Ares is high and it is fulfilled before the story ends. The options went from ⧣TeamAdonis or ⧣TeamAres to ⧣WhyChoose and I loved it.
Sadly, this is the final book but it feels like there is so much more that could be written in this series. I wasn’t ready for it to end.
