I enjoyed the overall story. But I felt it was a bit too confusing at times, as if there were too many subplots.. It took me quite a while to finish it as I didn't really care for the pace of the story. I don't regret reading it but I won't necessarily recommend it either

adventurous tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I enjoyed the story and it has a really interesting premise. As someone who's not as familiar with Greek mythology, I struggled a lot to follow all of the references. Gods are called multiple names and sometimes referenced by reputation rather than a name at all. It would have been a little easier to follow if I'd seen the Cast of Characters at the end of the book before I'd finished it. Even then, a lot of more minor myths are referenced throughout without full background and the prevalence of things I had to look up to fully understand impacted my enjoyment of the story and how long it took me to finish. That said, it was compelling with twists I didn't see coming. The end was a little abrupt.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book.

I have a love of mythology especially the greek mythos so reading a modern novel set in that sort of world was amazing.

I really hope this could be expanded into a larger series either a direct sequel or spin off but if not this was such a fun stand alone read.

3,5 estrellas. La trama estaba MUY bien, y podría haber tenido más futuro, de verdad era un buen tema y podrían haberle sacado más provecho. He sentido que a veces me he perdido un poco en la lectura y he tenido que volver páginas atrás para entender algunas cosas del mundo del libro. Bajo mi punto de vista el final podría haber sido más elaborado y no haber ocurrido tan rápido, ya que se pasa muchos capítulos contando como entran a un sitio y en apenas uno ya está terminando de contar una disputa. Pero dentro de lo que cabe no está mal, aunque me lo esperaba mejor.
