I loved being exposed to a different type of mythology. You were able to learn about it as you read with well placed reminders of important concepts as needed.  While love triangles are not my favourite trope, this one was executed well as it wasn’t necessarily the whole plot of the book, I wanted the saving of the world more than I cared about who Dèmi ultimately chose
