Not really my thing, but the first two books were kind of fun. The third didn't quite live up to the same level, and was much more romance and much less plot.

It's a neat idea - the subset of magic users grows stronger over time and installs rules to help keep the status quo. The oldest decree themselves above the rules, and hence instigate a plan to ensure they're the rules will never apply to them. As with all such plans the full consequences are never clear. Our heroes are a family of adopted magically gifted siblings, none of whom know they're endowed with great power. The Fates who were the original lawyers and have been ousted by the gods, have prophicised a way fro them to regain their former glory. It involves out hapless heroes meeting their soulmates and stealing back their fabled Spinning wheel of Life, from the mages oldest enemies the Fae.

The first book sets up the world and introduces the first couple. The 2nd book introduces the Fae, who's magic runs counter to the emotionally driven Love base of the 'traditional' pseudo-greek mages. And the third completes the story - but without any of the world building that made the previous two more enjoyable. ( )
