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.
