Not sure how to feel about this book. It was good and was written well and yet something didn’t truly grab me and sink me in. The world building and the descriptions of each world was amazing but there was a lot of it. I think the first chapter was also very hard to understand from anyone who doesn’t have a lot of background knowledge of Greek myths because the names threw me off instantly and I had to try adjust.
The relationship between Theron and Deina was written well as enemies bit their development into ‘friends’ and then ‘lovers’ was off. There was no push and pull vibes.
The other characters were cool (but Chrysse (was that her name?) was bleh) but I didn’t really feel attached to them. I predicted which one I shouldn’t trust and some of the plot twists too. Nat was probably the most interesting and I wish we saw more of him.
I think I’d give this more of a 3.5 if I could.
