Takes the fun out of a fast paced book to keep having to check names and people but Lore is a BA. Book club April ‘24

Not sure how to rate this one. Got the rec from a fave booktoker and not unhappy about it. I did devour it (an easier read and enjoyed the pacing and mythology). That said, I struggled in places: the plot meandered, supporting characters weren't well-developed, and was rather disappointed in the anticlimactic ending.

Buckle up. Ik heb dit boek geprobeert maar dominantie tonen door iemand op dr mond te pakken?
Hagelslag terwijl dat héél NL/BE is en het in Amerika afspeelt? 
Engelse woorden gebruiken (ounces bijv.) Én een verwarrend proloog? 

Het was een beetje veel. En er kwamen steeds meer namen bij. Lore vind ik ook geen leuk karakter en Athena is gewoonweg irritant.

Helaas een DNF.

I’m so glad I’ve finally read this, and it did not disappoint. I love Greek Mythology and I loved The Darkest Minds, so I had very high expectations for this book. 

I loved the characters and the story. It kept me entertained, and I had to keep on reading. The twists were good; I didn’t really see them coming!
I’m a little sad it doesn’t seem like this will be a series, but I’m happy that Lore and Castor got a happy ending.

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.
