I also liked how the different houses were all based on Greek myths, from more commonly known to lesser known.
All the characters were great in this story. For as much as the concept was really cool, Lore, Castor, Athena and the others were what made the story. From the Gods to the mortals everyone had flaws and there was a constant distrust that runs through everyone as the stakes are life and death. It makes for really good moments where the stress and emotions are at peak and everything comes to head.
This along with the amount of twists that this story has, had me devouring the book in three days over the Christmas period. It was addicting and really good entertainment. I would love to see this made into a movie or TV show.

I loved it soooooi much. The story was perfectly laid out and captivated me from the beginning to the end.
I also liked the writing and stirytelling wgich weren't to complicated, so it was easy to completely focus on the story itself.
You also don't have to be that much of a greek mythology nerd, as I am, to understand the things mentioned in this book, but some knowledge before reading is good.
I still need to warn everyone about the trigger warnings, because there are some hard ones.
