cameronreads's review against another edition

4.0

If you ever read a fiction book about war, let it be this one. The story telling was so clever and interesting, and the book truly captures the horrors of war and racism as well as the wonders of love and music. I did in fact cry. 
Also, the narration of the audiobook was wonderful, with a different narrator for each God. I’d recommend if you like audiobooks!

This was such a beautiful book.
First thing i loved about this book is all the fluff and romance, it had me blushing and smiling to myself like an idiot, both couples were so cute and perfect for each other.
Second is the greek mythology part, i really loved it’s such a fun way to tell a story, makes it extra spicy, and i love greek mythology in general so win win!
Thing number three is the way the author talks about topics like race and gender, and how it’s discussed in a respectful informed way that just adds depth  to the story.
Definitely one of my favorite books.
