Greek mythology retelling, fierce female warrior as MC, enemies to lovers (sort of? lol), thrilling adventure... I swear, this book has all the right elements! This was definitely a solid read!
The first half, though it was action-packed, felt a little lethargic. Lethargic in a way that I wasn't invested in the characters or their dynamics yet. Once I got past that first half though, it got better. I got to know the characters a little better, saw their chemistry slowly form. That for me made the story more enjoyable.
I loved how the author reimagined Daphne and Apollo's tale (plus other stories!). I always found Daphne and Apollo's tale lacking and melancholic in a way. However, in this book, we see a different kind of Daphne and Apollo, we see a different dynamic between them, and of course, a different endgame.
Oh and, not to spoil anything but I adored the overall ending. It's not what I expected, but I thought it was fitting.
Exact rating 3.75/5! Full review will be posted soon on The Nerd Daily.
