For fans of Percy Jackson and The Hunger Games.
A good story but too full of fight scenes for me to fully immerse myself in it. Found myself skim reading a lot towards the end. Sure there were some twists but eh, it wasn't something I'd ever read again.

I really enjoyed this book. It was different, and I absolutely did not expect the plot twists. There were definitely parts of it that were pretty dark though, which given that their society was based around ancient Greek culture wasn't too much of a surprise, but still very messed up. It made me gasp and cringe, but in the end only added to the story and how much I felt for the character's cause.

it definitely is slow at the beginning, but once i really got into the book i could not put it down! i 100% recommend this if you love greek mythology, but i would also recommend grabbing a tissue or two!
