Although Midas is a Greek character, the whole thing didn't feel very Greek - there were references to 'the divine' generally but none of them are ever named and I personally thought that was odd.
I found Auren generally irritating as a character - she literally isn't like other girls and she says she's lonely but she has literally no consideration for the other girls who are constantly made to feel inferior to her.
Pacing was odd, plot was slow - clearly setting up for a series but it left this book feeling incomplete.
