Copy received from New South Books for an honest review

I have read many of Katee Robert's books in the past, however this is the first of the Dark Olympus books.

Where have i been and why had I not heard of this series before?

I love history and Greek myths and legends, so I was very keen to read this one. Now, I will say that it is more like KR has taken the names of the Greek legends rather than a retelling, but that is also not a bad thing.

I adored our strong female in Helen. She is always just the other sister, the one that the family can push around and is theirs to do what they want with. I loved that she stood up, gave them a big middle finger and did what she wanted, no matter what was thrown at her. *chef's kiss* to this

Achilles and Patroclus are goals. Through thick and thin they make their way through life. Though I think that they need to have a couple of conversations to sort out the fragility of some of their feelings. They kind of got swept under the rug so the throuple relationship could be up front - I mean, I like the three of them together, but I wanted more of the guys alone,

I now want to go back and read the previous two books, and look forward to what this series brings us in the future.
