I was unsure how I felt about this until about halfway. It is a great take on the ancient Gods and myths. I liked the way it intertwined our reality with the legends. It wasn't until about halfway through that I felt like the twists and intrigue picked up enough for me to get really into it.
Lore escaped a world where the Gods aren't legends. The Agon comes every 7 years. Kill a God, take their power. Her family was killed in that world of constant fighting for power and finding death. She has been trying to avoid it. Now a God comes to her for help and she has to decide if she wants to avenge her family.
There are so many secrets and a lot of twists. The twists in the latter half of the book are what saved it for me. I got really into it with the brutal combat, the deadly encounters, intense secrets, and major twists. I loved how much the twists changed the story. One secret chabges everything. A really good take on mythology for me.
