katiechasingchapters's review against another edition

hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

rat_fairy's review against another edition

look, i might come back to this at some point, but that’s unlikely. i kinda hate this book, it feels like i’m reading something completely different from what everyone else has.
i don’t like the retelling vibes, it just isn’t clicking with me and the main character and love interests being literally named icarus and helios respectively feels like something i would have thought extremely deep at age 13-14 but now that i’m 18 it’s just,,,, a little cringe.
i cant stand the short chapters
this book is actually killing me
