Rory Forseti, a Spartan and Mythos Academy student, and the rest of Team Midgard are determined to keep powerful artifacts out of the hands of the Reapers. Rory has a more personal reason for hating the Reapers and their diabolical leader, Covington, as he murdered her parents when they chose to leave the Reapers. Unbeknownst to the rest of Team Midgard, Rory has been secretly replacing real artifacts with copies. Team Midgard has a lead on a new artifact, but will Rory be able to save her friends when Covington outwits them?

SPARTAN DESTINY is the third book in the Mythos Academy Spinoff Series and can easily be read without reading the original series. However, I would recommend at least reading the second book, SPARTAN PROMISE, as there are references to previous events that are helpful to fully appreciate and enjoy SPARTAN DESTINY.

Rory is a phenomenal heroine! Yes, she can be impetuous, but she also strategizes using her Spartan skills, even when it hurts her the most. And oh, her loyalty! Rory’s loyalty is unquestionable and steadfast despite the most trying of circumstances. SPARTAN DESTINY truly showcases these character traits as Rory risks everything when her friends’ lives are on the line. I won’t reveal spoilers but some of the choices she has to make are heartbreaking to witness.

I love that Jennifer Estep digs into some lesser known mythological gods and goddesses and Sigyn may be my new favorite! Sigyn is the Norse goddess of devotion and Rory is the perfect Champion for her. I love some of the additional touches to SPARTAN DESTINY and the series, too, such as the winterblooms leaning towards Rory as if to kiss her cheek.

SPARTAN DESTINY is yet another stunningly good fantasy novel from Jennifer Estep! The heart-pounding action coupled with great characters and a fascinating storyline make SPARTAN DESTINY a must-read for all fans of the genre. My only regret is that SPARTAN DESTINY completed a story arc and I hope it’s not the end of the Mythos Academy Spinoff Series. Regardless, I can’t wait to see what Jennifer Estep has in store for us next!
