I think I might have enjoyed this book if I had read it when I originally received it in an OwlCrate box, but reading it now? I had to force myself to get through it, which took forever. There was more violence and gore than I was expecting, and at times it felt like there were just too many characters. It was just ok, I wouldn't recommend or ever read it again, and I'm not sure that I'd go out of my way to read anything else by this author.

A dark, grim re-imagining of Greek mythology which explored the brutal side of both the godly, immortal figures and the plain old humans with their burning ambition. The plot was intriguing; watching the characters unravel thread after thread and often ending up with more questions than answers. The full cast of characters were well-developed, though frustratingly bad decision makers (someone had to advance the plot, l suppose). The ending felt slightly rushed,

and a bit jarringly sunshine-and-rainbows compared to the previous fifty-odd chapters
