This was the first YA book I've read in a long time that didn't feel like a 'regular' YA book. There are no elven princeses to wisk you off the underhill. There are, on the other hand, the old gods. This is a really great premise. The gods are hunted every year by ancient bloodlines to gain their power. So good! 

You can see the growth in Lore. From the flashbacks from when she was a short tempered 10 year old to now. The results of that short tempered nature are horrible, and it leaves a traumatizing scar on her. It's that scar, that chip on her shoulder, that allows her to be manipulated by one who claimed to want to help her. 

Also, Zeus makes a 'cameo' appearnce.

I really really wanted to love this book. I really did. Everything about this story is something i'd enjoy. And I did like parts of it but a lot of it felt forced. 
The first 2/3rds of the book felt slow, too much building without actually telling a story. The next part felt really good but still rough to read. A lot of the dialogue felt like someone writing it, instead of actual alive characters. 
And the ending.. it ended that way simply because she *asked*?
