⁕ The schematics of the bloodlines, family relations, and transfer of powers was so convoluted to me for such a large portion of the book. The chart provided helped a little bit but not entirely.
⁕ The plot is quest-based and driven more by physical action than character emotion and development. Consequently, the main heroes fell flat.
⁕ My favorite scene involved one of the Gods talking about her experience as a women and one of the only remaining "old gods." It was a perspective that we don't usually get in modern day retellings of Greek mythology and one of the strongest moments of emotional vulnerability in the book.
⁕ Yes, there were some plot twists. No, I did not see them coming.

Lore escaped a world where the Gods aren't legends. The Agon comes every 7 years. Kill a God, take their power. Her family was killed in that world of constant fighting for power and finding death. She has been trying to avoid it. Now a God comes to her for help and she has to decide if she wants to avenge her family.
There are so many secrets and a lot of twists. The twists in the latter half of the book are what saved it for me. I got really into it with the brutal combat, the deadly encounters, intense secrets, and major twists. I loved how much the twists changed the story. One secret chabges everything. A really good take on mythology for me.
