On Earth, seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander was taught to never peek, but if she hopes to survive life on her new planet, Loge, her eyes must never shut. Because Zeus will do anything to save the Ancients from their dying planet, and he has a plan.Thousands of humans crossed over to Loge after a poisonous neurotoxin released into Earth's atmosphere, nearly killing them. They sought refuge in hopes of finding a new life, but what they became were slaves, built to wage war against their home planet. That is, unless Ari and Jackson can stop them. But on Loge, nothing is as it seems...and no one can be trusted.
This book was received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I’m not a sci-fi geek. I don’t really like Star Wars and
things like that. Weird, I know. But this series is so good, it makes me change
my mind.
Ari Alexander is a firecracker. Not afraid to speak her
mind, her mouth can get her into some trouble, but I really admired that about her.
She’s also extremely stubborn but that stubbornness is so important in
protecting the ones she loves. She’s quick with a gun and very vengeful. She’s
very passionate in everything she does, and that’s the biggest reason I think
she’s a greatttt heroine.
Jackson is really just a sweetheart. He cares so much for
Ari and that’s evident in everything he does. He’s patient when Ari is being
ridiculously stubborn. He, like Ari, is a total badass and is so strong when
faced against so much adversity. I love how he loves his grandma and is willing
to do anything to save her from a horrible fate. He’s most definitely on my
book boyfriends list.
In Hover, we saw much more of Zeus’s villainous ways. I
would like to kill the guy myself if I had the skills Ari has. I was happy we
got to see the characters that I loved from Gravity, such as Gretchen. I have
reservations about Law, especially at the end. I did loveeeee getting to know
Mami and Emmy though. Their love for Jackson and Ari was clear and they were
very instrumental in many things. So vague, I know. Don’t wanna spoil anyone!
My favorite thing about this series is the setting. It’s
unlike anything I’ve ever read before but I can feel it so vividly when I read.
If Loge wasn’t run by crazy Zeus, I’d like to live there. And be a badass like
every Ancient. After Gravity, Ari had a hard time trusting Jackson, which I
could totally see at first. But her stubbornness was unrelenting for a bit, and
I was so dang happy when she finally trusted him again. And let me say…there is
some major swoonage in this book. Trust me.
All in all, I may not be a hardcore sci-fi person, but I
really like this series. And Jackson. Jackson…
Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: And then in one move he cups my face with his hands and sits us up,
crushing his lips onto mine. I pull him still closer, wanting my body as fixed
to his as possible, finding strength in his powerful arms and the sureness of
his kiss, as though he was always here, waiting for this moment. He eases me
down onto the bed and lies half over me, never letting his lips leave mine. A
small tear leaks from my eye and I realize that for the first time since arriving
here, I feel like I’m coming home.
