I couldn’t have imagined a better conclusion to Zeus And Brigit’s story than the one the author gave us in 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.
Zeus is struggling with what happened at the end of 𝑺𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒏 although he did his best to deny it. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he was torn between wanting Brigit safe and pushing her away, giving up on Olympus in general, confronting Demeter… and then at the forefront of it all, Brigit herself. It was like watching him unravel completely. But there she was, pushing him, defying him and going over his head on what mattered. The dynamic between them evolved throughout the books, their connection growing to an all consuming love but hell those shmexy scenes between them doubled in intensity and steam!!! It’s like all the emotions, fear, uncertainties just took it all to whole new level of 🔥
As a whole, this trilogy had a concept and setting that was a first time read for me, and it made it all the more fresh and creative. Being thrust into Olympus, Zeus’ world and profession, I want to say depravity but I don’t think that’s the right word. It’s not exactly kink either. I noticed by binging these books, that it’s more like Amelia’s style and signature of writing. It’s dark and twisted, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it sure as hell is a favorite of mine!
Another thing I absolutely loved with my experience reading these books, is the way I’m deconstructing the brothers’ relationship in general but also while reading the individual trilogy, I’m witnessing the beginning and development of it as well. Did that make sense? It’s like seeing it unfold from both ends. And it’s beautiful and raw.
There’s also something about these antiheroes remaining that way (or more, if that’s even possible 😈) with a whole lot of “mine” and “touch her and die” concept. Ugh… gimme more please!
