This is one of those books that is well-written and really fascinating, that will probably win awards when the youth awards season come around. I enjoyed the way mythology was woven into Theo's story, all done through poetry. It's such an intriguing story, and the illustrations included throughotu are also wonderfully done.
This is definitely more on the literary side of YA fiction, though, which isn't always my cup of tea. If you're interested in novels in verse inspired by Greek mythology, definitely check this one out.
