I loved the inclusion of Aubrey as a character (he was my favorite), and the subsequent focus on jazz and the treatment of black soldiers by American and European troops alike during WWI. And I loved Hazel and Collette's friendship. On the other hand, the majority of the book focused on two romances, and things got too sappy for my taste. I also thought the romance slowed down the pacing and made the book longer than it needed to be; fortunately the audiobook was beautifully read, so I powered through. Overall, this was a well-researched and bittersweet look at WWI through the eyes of 4 young adults and the Greek gods who support them.
