Review of Gluttony (The Elite Seven Book 5) by K. Webster
Samuel Goddard is young when he first realizes his money may give him material things, but it doesn't necessarily give him happiness. Oh sure, he's got material things coming out his ass, but self confidence, stability, and happiness? Nowhere to be found. But he can fake it and hide his deeply insecure nature because he's God after all. Then he's handed his task to obtain entry into The Elite Seven. And more significantly, he meets HER. The goddess that he falls head over ass for. Can she heal him? Can God have his goddess?
My God, *wink wink* Gluttony is the story I've been waiting for in this series! It's got a seriously flawed, but definitely redeemable, hero, a fantastic, substantial heroine, and for once, the romance isn't lacking. I'm still not reading The Elite Seven series for the romance, but it was really nice to finally get a story with some semblance of romance in it. And to get a story with characters who aren't total douchewads, who are capable of some tenderness and love. Yes, there's still violence and depravity, this is a series about the seven deadly sins after all, but it's got some softer emotions and softer sides to balance out the violence and all the sinning going on. And God is by far my favorite character so far in this series. He's so layered, so much more like an average person with all his insecurities and his flaws, but one willing to work on becoming a better man. Of course there's a cliffhanger, and we're left with even more questions about how the society is working behind the scenes, and what Rush's (Sloth) story is going to be like, but the story of the secret society is moved much further this time. All in all, I'd say that if you've given up on this series, do come back to it and pick up Gluttony. You'll definitely find yourself falling back in love with The Elite Seven series if you dive into God's story.
