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!
