I loved this book!! It was a mixture of Percy Jackson and the hunger games. It was quite gory for a YA book and I often forgot that it was targeted to teens until they censored curse words. Would have been five stars, except there were some really confusing parts. The author did a lot of research into Greek mythology which was really cool. Hugh recommend!

adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense

“By the gods—sea, fire, and women are the three evils.” (p. 443).

Dark throughout, but a happy ending.

Takes the fun out of a fast paced book to keep having to check names and people but Lore is a BA. Book club April ‘24
