Unfortunately I struggled with this one. 
I found it hard to get into and at chapter 19 I switched to the audiobook. It got me through it quicker but it didn't increase my engagement and enjoyment of the story.

I didn't really care much for the setting. I've never read the Hunger Games before, but that sort of set up has never really interested me and this theme in modern day, but with the Ancient Greek pantheon just didn't blend well for me and felt jarring a lot of the time.

I wasn't keen on Lore as our main character. I just didn't mesh with her.

I thought it was helpful to have the '7 years earlier' flashback chapters to slowly peeter out the history before this Agon.

Gutted this one didn't do it for me. I think this is my first foray into this authors works, but I own a copy of The Darkest Minds, which I'm sure I will still try out at a later date.
