Starred review from November 27, 2017
This rich, clever, and thoughtful concluding installment of the Olympus Bound trilogy picks up six months after the events of 2016’s Winter of the Gods, with Selene DiSilva, once known as the goddess Artemis, tracking her grandfather Saturn and the remnants of his Mithraist cult in order to stop them from sacrificing the kidnapped Zeus to usurp his power. Meanwhile, Selene’s lover, the mortal
historian Theo Schultz, believes Selene is dead and researches ancient rituals and traditions in hopes of resurrecting her. When they reunite in the Vatican, it’s the prelude to a new quest that takes them to Mount Olympus itself, where the remaining gods gather for the first time in centuries. As in the previous volumes, Brodsky expertly weaves together ancient mystery cults, mythology, and science, producing a syncretic masterpiece that challenges the reader’s assumptions and expectations at every turn. Her gods, with their numerous epithets and faded dignity, feel real and complicated, burdened by the weight of centuries’ worth of legend and reinvention. This is a wholly satisfying conclusion to a story that adds another dimension to ancient themes and elements. Agent: Jennifer Joel, ICM.

The final installment of a trilogy that sees the goddess Artemis fighting for her life--and the lives of her fellow Greek gods--in the 21st century.After the events of Winter of the Gods (2017) left her body and ego bruised, ancient Greek goddess Artemis--now using the name Selene Neomenia--is racing against time to stop the powerful leader of a cult trying to usher in a new Age of Humanity by wiping out the immortal Greek deities. Forcibly separated from her lover, classics professor Theo Schultz, Selene is also grieving; she has already lost several of her loved ones trying to stop the cult. But when she realizes that her own father, the mighty Zeus, is next in line to be sacrificed--and that the cult leader is none other than her grandfather, Saturn--the stage is set for an epic familial battle. With Theo back in Manhattan hatching his own plans to stop the cult, Selene is in Europe working with fellow Olympian Flint (the contemporary name of smithy god Hephaestus). They must follow a trail of complex clues involving Christianity, ancient Roman mystery cults, astrology, and mythology to try to prevent any more deities from being wiped from the face of the Earth for good. Brodsky has always seemed more comfortable writing about gods than human characters, so she hits her stride here in the trilogy's climactic showdowns: like an erudite version of Die Hard, the novel moves quickly from nail-biting predicament to battle and back. And the long-awaited addition of Athena to Brodsky's pantheon will delight readers who are mythology nerds. If one can put aside a fair amount of outlandishness (Theo's old roommate just happens to be the incarnation of the god Dionysus?), Brodsky's popcorn read offers a fun escape.A satisfyingly over-the-top finale.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Selene, the goddess once known as Artemis, is grieving for her lost siblings and tortured by the knowledge that she has caused her lover Theo pain by letting him believe her dead. But most of all, she is determined to find her grandfather Saturn before he kills her father, Zeus, and completes a ritual that will grant him the power the gods lost long ago. Selene will leave behind her beloved New York for places from her sacred past: Ephesus, Athens, Rome, and, eventually, Mount Olympus. Meanwhile, Theo is not willing to accept Selene's death and turns to other gods to find a way to bring her back. The nonstop action balances Selene's quest with Theo's heartbreaking efforts to resurrect the woman he believes to be dead, even if it requires a trip to the underworld. VERDICT The exciting conclusion to Brodsky's trilogy, which began with The Immortals, has all the lovingly researched details about the Greek pantheon that fans have come to expect.

In a series that brings the Greek gods into contemporary times, Selene is not enjoying a glowy New York summer. She's lost her home and the man she adores, and, even worse, a cult has kidnapped her father and is threatening her friends. Time to draw on her ancient lineage as the Huntress. In other words, she's Artemis. With a 75,000-copy first printing.
