Titans #3
The Fallen Queen
Astraea, Zephyr, Pegasus, and Tryn turn to an old enemy to save them from a desperate situation in this third book in a new series from bestselling Pegasus author Kate O’Hearn, who masterfully blends mystery and mythology together.
Jake, Nesso, and Emily have been captured by the Mimics. Their friends are determined to rescue them before it’s too late, though that’s easier said than done. Driven from their home and facing a constant stream of new attacks, Astraea, Zephyr, Pegasus, and Tryn are struggling just to survive another day against Mimics who can kill with a touch and take the shape of any friend or family member.
While Jupiter is focused on returning to Titus, Astraea knows their only shot is to take the fight to the Mimic home world and stop the Mimic queen herself. To do that, they’ll need to even the odds of seven friends versus an entire planet. So they come up with a plan to capture the one thing more terrifying than their enemy—the giant snake Lergo.
Seeking out the serpent that almost killed them seems like a terrible idea. But it will take more than one unlikely ally to save their friends—not to mention the universe—and defeat the Mimics for good.

What a nice wrap-up to the Titans trilogy! I do wish we had gotten to see more of Emily and Riza again once they showed up, but that’s okay. Maybe Kate O’Hearn will write another book with these characters; I sure hope so.
The Fallen Queen did veer even farther from the Greek/Roman mythology roots closer to a sci-fi feel. (Especially with Melissa and the final reveals of how the Mimics function.) This isn’t a bad thing, just something I noticed. I really liked Melissa and Lergo; they added some fresh new stuffs to the plot, which was cool.
As usual, I am not disappointed and greatly enjoyed another Kate O’Hearn book. My favorite series from her is still the Valkyrie trilogy though, lol.

Great ending to this book series! So fun, I couldn't put the book down. 9/10

This book leaves a few small unanswered questions, but overall ties things up really well and in a nice way.
This whole series not only emphasizes friendship in general but specifies showing how to be friends with even those who are much different, not just physically but in the way they think. However, I do feel this theme probably could have been explored more such as by showing more of centaur culture and how it was influenced Cylus and his herd. Nevertheless, it is nice seeing the characters positively change and adapt due to the influence of their friends.
Especially noteworthy is watching how Zephyr becomes less abrasive toward others while still being funny throughout the book. She's certainly the most memorable character of the series.
I was a little worried about what they would do with Melissa, who was lonely for friendship but clearly would not do well on Earth. Jake found a really bold and heart-warming solution.

It was a great book series in all, but I feel like it could have gone better if there where more pauses. Each major event happens one after the other, with no pauses in between. The theme is kind of predictable, and I think there should have been better cliff hangers and the end of the chapters. There where some great cliff hangers, but then the theme of back and forth, from Astraea to Jake, got switched up because the cliff hanger was just so good that they continued onto the next chapter with Astraea again, and that sort of made it die down. I felt like there should have been more detail on the final battle, it went by to quickly. But other than that, I think it kept me hooked till the ending. Great plot, by the way, although it was a little to similar to the Pegasus series for me. All in all, 5 stars is good.

I enjoyed this series. The humour and witty dialogue between characters were fun.
However, I feel there was a missed opportunity for the twist with Angie and Lergo. It may have worked better if Astraea wasn't unconscious for it and reacted in the moment. It also would not have seemed predictable if the same 'dead, but not dead' trick was not pulled earlier in the same book with Melissa.
There are more questions I have, but I realise this is a Young Adult book series. Other than that, I greatly enjoyed it and couldn't put the book down.

I read this for a book club and loved it so much! My favorite characters are Jake and Zephyr because of their funny bond with each other. This is a great series if you love mythology and I highly recommend it, even if you aren't interested in that sort of thing. This is a three-book series and I've read all of them!

It’s amazing the way Kate O’ Hearn Ideas for these books. I truly wish this series could go on forever. I kind of wish Emily had not lost her powers but I still love this Series, And all of the characters in it as well as the characters in Pegasus.

Why can't Emily regain her powers! Riza's dad could help her. Not satisfied with the ending - the Xan that lost memories were attached longer. Emily and Riza's story was not completely tied up, either.

I liked this book, but I don’t like how it constantly changes perspective.

They wrapped this sequel series up pretty good.

Loved it! This and the Sunlit Lands trilogy are probably my favorite series. Though, I can’t figure out whether Titans is fantasy, sci-fi, or mythology…? Let’s just go with: all of it.

Very high three stars; could be low four. Struggled keeping my attention at times, and was hard to pick up many times. Overall a fun finish to a fun story, but the whole trilogy felt flat, like I didn’t really need to think. Enjoyable, but not too notable.

The Fallen Queen is written from the perspective of Jake and Astraea. It is the third book in the Titan's trilogy. The book follows Jake and Astraea through the world threatening conflict of the mimics. The mimics are an alien race that can kill anything with just a touch, and they have taken over Jake's home world, Earth, and Astraea's home world, Titus. The main theme of this book in my opinion is "Trust in your family and never give in".

Love it. Love how they made new friends.
