Perhaps I am just used to fantasy books that are duologies or trilogies so I was excited to get it all in one book. The premise of gods and Greek mythology is an interesting one but you do have to fill in some mythology holes to get the most of the story and that’s partially because it’s just one book. The love story was bland as was the character development. It found myself not really caring what happened to any of them except Miles. The end was lackluster and left questions - what happened to the gods who sacrificed? Is the Agon over? Athena killed Lore’s whole family but knew she had to get Lore to give the shield willingly? Seems like a convenient twist that really didn’t make much sense.
