An outstanding conclusion to this epic and wonderful story
I only have one regret, and that is how quickly I powered through this third book. I'm sort of wishing I'd forced myself to take me time, savour every word and stretch out the experience as long as possible. But I just needed to find out what happened next far too much to do that. Zoey Ellis has created a wonderful cast of characters and an amazing world for them to live in. The Myth of Omega series is a must read for anyone who enjoys omegaverse stories.
The lies, secrets and manipulations of the Mothers was astounding. What had started off with the best of intentions, a way to protect some of the most very vulnerable of females, had been warped by the bitter memories of an old woman. The last two books have very much been about Drocco's growth, this time it was Cailyn's turn, and boy did she have some making up to do to.
Great writing held me spellbound, had me on the edge of my seat with my emotions ricocheting all over the place! Oh my word do Cailyn and Drocco have to fight for their HEA, though thankfully it wasn't against each other this time. I could feel every emotion, every hope and desire, every triumph and tragedy that beset the pair.
This books in this series have just gotten better and better. Looks like I'm going to be finding out more about King Malloron - even if he does seem like a complete arse.

Combined Review for Myth Of Omega (#1, #2 & #3)
Had to crawl to reach the finish line this time.
(It really was a struggle to finish this trilogy ಠಿ_ಠಿ)
Emperor Drocco, who reigns over the Lox Empire commanding an army of over twelve thousand Alpha men alongside his General, Torin is in a tad bit of a problem. He has promised Omegas for his men but remember the problem I'd mentioned about? Yeah. Not a single Omega has been spotted for decades.
It's very well known that Drocco has been in search of the missing Omegas, and now that he has secured the Eastern Lands from King of Ashens & was restructuring it as the Lox Empire, Miss Cailyn Lefroy, a historian from Vamore was summoned to aid Drocco unravel the mystery that has been haunting all the Alphas in existence.
First of all, can I just put it out there that I absolutely, absolutely hated Drocco? Not to worry, Cailyn was a close second. I sometimes wondered who I detested more but Drocco won in first two books so he clearly deserved to be crowned as the winner.
Book #1 really held out until it reached the halfway mark. I enjoyed Cailyn's banter with Drocco inevitably always blaming it on a lip slip but Drocco on the other hand always felt two-dimensional. He was never there for her except when they got intimate. And they had sex for atleast 65% of the entire trilogy, so yes, when I say that he was hardly there any other time, I seriously mean it.
Add to this mix, him torturing her by I wouldn't ever forgive him for that. Cailyn forgot about it like it was passing wind!
Cailyn doesn't trust Drocco (good for her). Never gives him an opportunity to trust her. And Drocco doesn't even see her as a mate but more like a woman who was made to get down and dirty with him.
At first Cailyn fought against this very thing but she dropped all her defences by the time the second book rolled around.
And PLEASE, King Malloron was an unnecessary antagonist. All he did was get on Drocco's nerve and kidnap Cailyn only to give up on his evil agendas without much fight.
But it was the third book which truly got on my nerves. I lost count of the number of times I was mentally screaming at Cailyn to stop acting stupidly, aiming to be a doormat. She clearly knew who was messing with their lives yet she did nothing in the last installment except sleep in a luxurious prison, whine for Drocco, have sex with Drocco, go back to talk to the obvious culprits like they were still trustworthy before going back to whining for Drocco. There wasn't a single hint of the backbone she had displayed when the book first began.
I took up this book because I really did enjoy all the three Dragon romances Zoey Ellis has so far released but Myth Of Omega wasn't really a treat for me since i didn't really spot any romance here.
^The only instance I could spot of Drocco being a softy.

“What is my family name?”
“Andaus.”
“What is yours?”
“Andaus.”
She blinked. “How can they be the same?”
He smiled down at her. “Because you’re mine.”
She giggled. She fucking giggled, and his heart nearly stopped. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard, and combined with finally seeing her laugh, it pushed him into an almost complete state of enchantment.

*Review for the whole trilogy so spoilers may be possible.
I am writing this review at 12:30 am. because I needed to gather my thoughts asap before I forgot, so there will definitely be typos, I apologise in advance.
I think I'm a hoe for omegaverse books at this point, and this trilogy DELIVERED every single aspect I was looking for in an Alpha/Omega pairing.
ALSO, ALSO, also, is it wrong of me to say that I LOVE third-person writing? I just love the way the storytelling happens, and I become so immersed in it.
The worldbuilding in this trilogy was done so well, I was left feeling very satisfied with no plot holes evident at all. I lovedddd the writing style so much as well in this series. It just fit so well for me, I don't know how to explain that.
- Crave to Conquer
I think it is pretty obvious what is to be expected from an M/F omegaverse series, and there were no surprising elements present. Although the "true mates" plot was a guilty pleasure of mine. I loved how even though Drocco expected a submissive, timid mate, he learned that he liked Cailyn's feistiness and determination better. He didn't try to smother her intelligence at all, nor was he threatened by it and was just a proud person over it. Drocco does start off as a commanding and an arrogant Emperor, but he gets better over time. Cailyn was so strong and smart even when she was fighting her haze mentally and was determined not to let Drocco get her. I was rooting for her throughout that whole scene.

I enjoyed the first book, got annoyed by the second and enraged by the third.
I am rarely so annoyed by a MC.
But seriously, you are one of the best spies, other look up to you and what do you do the moment you don't like something? You betray thousands of omegas and endangers them. Just because the mother's told her to stay with her mate. So many omegas could suffer because your feelings are hurt.
Selfish and short sighted.
You can't build up a character to be this amazing spy and then do that. Sure she questions the Mother's but how about all the innocent omegas? Knowing that her mate wants to give one omega to each of his warriors.
And what is with the whole idea of "let's ask the mother's about stuff I won't remember"? Like what. Why. It doesn't make sense at all. None.
Jesus.

Omegaverse is just my kind of kink and this author is a master at telling it. Third and final book for Cailyn and Drocco and let’s just say the fight never leaves these two. Omega’s have a dynamic to obey their Alpha’s but Cailyn has been raised differently. In the last book, she has suffered much, and just wants to end everything but here.. Everything changes and life gives new meaning.
What did I like? This book has more story than hot scenes. The author really delves into the Mother’s that run the Omega compound and how this all began. Drocco doesn’t change, if anything in this book he is more driven. Cailyn has many purposes in this book but her biggest concern is for the Omega’s. This is a remarkable book, and just sets the stage for the next series.
Would I recommend or buy? Yes, I have an ebook and a paperback. This is my favorite Omegaverse series, and I’ve reread it over and over. I like the story dynamics, and the alpha that is over the top aggressive. If nonconsent is a trigger then move on. I see a ton of one star reviews, and it’s really not fair to the author.
Thoughts for the author? This author is amazing. I’m hoping she writes more of this series. I love the covers of this series and pretty much all the novellas too. Five stars of entertainment!

I never would have thought I would be saying this, but I felt really bad for Drocco here. He's tortured both mentally and physically when, for once, he didn't go there with the intention of fighting. Making it worse is that his torment is all inflicted by magic. Fortunately he is one fierce and determined alpha.
While I guess I mostly enjoyed this book, I was also so angry for most of it. With Cailyn betraying Drocco again only the beginning. She goes back to the compound in search of her answers, but what she finds there is only more questions. We learn that pretty much nothing at the compound is what it seems and in fact the mothers have all been lying to the omegas the whole time. The head mother is the most corrupt one as she is fueled by emotions that she should have let go such a long time ago. I hated her. Oh how I hated her. Especially with what she does to Drocco.
In order to get his mate back, Drocco forms a sort of truce with Malloron. Having the twin alphas on his side certainly ends up being Drocco's trump card in many ways. When Drocco finds the omega compound, he is solely focused on finding Cailyn. He even ignores any attacks that are launched at him. But when the mothers fight together his shield is no match and he ends up captured instead. Bound by magic, tortured by magic, and manipulated by magic it's hard to know how much time has passed. And the magic that contains him ends up making his alpha instincts that much stronger only making him all the more wild. Exactly what the head mother wants.
Cailyn is thrilled Drocco has come for her as she needs him more than ever with her pregnancy. But she is horrified by how he is treated. Unfortunately, with her magic bound she is powerless to help him. The two of them are manipulated by the mothers, but in the end their true bond is stronger than any of their tricks. At about 70% I was getting a little excited that things were finally starting to pick up, but then it all just sort of fizzled out. A self sacrifice serves as the tipping point for the omegas to re-enter society and Drocco to finally be able to uphold his promise to his Lox.
It all just seemed too anti-climatic for me all things considered. But this whole book was pretty much like that. While I liked how not all the omegas were willing to blindly follow orders, it's not like they actually did anything. I just feel like not a lot happened except for the mothers being selfish and willing to do whatever they had to in order to posses Cailyn's baby. Sure we learn a lot about what they have done and why, but I'm not sure I cared.
I'll definitely continue on with this series if the books go on sale, but at this point, I'm not paying full price for them.

This book got really bogged down with the world building and the slog of the whole ‘The Mothers’ thing. I found the Mothers characters indistinguishable from one another and that whole aspect of justifying the shape of the world interactions was just a slog.
