4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
What more could a history major with a penchant for Greek Mythology and female heroines want in a book? I knew before I’d even cracked the spine I would fall head over heels into this story and I was right. I followed Lore’s journey with her friends and the gods, felt her love and hatred and betrayal, shocked by the twists, enamoured by the love, and cried at the heartbreaking moments. Ending the book was bittersweet but I could not put it down. I would have liked a more informative and resolved ending, 1-2 pages is not enough. I was expecting a sequel as there were too many unanswered questions, but I guess I can live with the happily ever after. If you love mythology, fast paced action, surprising twists and betrayal, fiery heroines, and love in all the right places, then this book is for you.
