This premise was so unique and carried out brilliantly by the author. Her witty style of writing was so fun, despite the subject matter being quite gory at times. I absolutely loved watching Lore’s character development, even if I didn’t like her at times. Miles’ subplot has to be my favorite part of the book though. This book did twists really well and had me hooked from the start. Such a good read!

Oof I really disliked this one. The writing is disjointed and clunky, the characterisation is random, the plot is uninteresting which is interesting giving how fast-paced the novel is. It just couldn't make me care at all. I like the premise, really, hunger games meets greek mythology should be my thang, but the Hunger Games aspect was needlessly brutal (so many incredibly gory deaths, almost all of them completely unable to serve the plot, BIG difference with HG) and the Greek mythology feels forced. I wanted to love this book and instead it annoyed the living daylights out of me. Doesn't help that the main character is a cardboard figure with a lot of rage (or sadness? Or confusion? God I don't know) and a really gruesomely murdered family (stop killing babies guys it's just ... No). I'm glad it's over. Meh.
