The book incorporates Greek Mythology with a modern twist and it is something I have yet to experience elsewhere. It provided a thorough explanation of the traditions and myths behind the characters lives and motives, however I found Lore’s internal monologue to be quite repetitive throughout. Similarly, there were slightly too many action scenes for my liking, in some areas it felt like I was reading 100 pages of just fighting and little character development over time. However it was, overall, an enjoyable read and definitely something I would recommend to people interested in Greek Mythology or the greek gods

I really enjoyed this story - the concept is unique though inspired and featuring Greek mythology and Gods/ Goddesses

Very fast paced so not a boring moment however I didn't find myself especially connected to the main characters - I liked them sure and was rooting for them but I didn't feel emotional at certain points. The book has high stakes so I would have liked to feel that more

The book definitely has some dark moments and some of the groups that feature in the story are quite backwards/ misogynistic so these were aspects our main character had to overcome. I think the book handled trauma and grief well in general especially with found family elements.

I was left with a few questions at the end so I feel like it wrapped up maybe a little too quickly.

Overall though I do recommend this book though do check the trigger warnings if you know that you have specific issues with certain topics.
