No tenía expectativas muy altas, pero me ha decepcionado un poco. La historia, el concepto, me ha gustado mucho, pero creo que está mal llevado a cabo. Apenas aprendes más del mundo y de cómo funciona. Me he pasado medio libro sin saber muy bien que estaba pasando. Creo que algunos de los plot twist que suceden hacia el final son demasiado forzados y no los he sentido naturales (quizás sea solo mi impresión). Respecto a la protagonista no he terminado de conectar con ella, ni con el resto a ser sincera. La relación principal ha sido para mí sin más. Tampoco he entendido bien algunas conclusiones finales. ¿Ha sido un poco todo esto para llegar ahí?

This book was described as Greek mythology meets The Hunger Games. It was definitely violent and dark. So obviously I loved it.
I related pretty quickly to the main character after she was fist fighting in a basement and dropped this thought
“Lore was not about to die on booze soaked mats in the basement of a Chinese restaurant that didn’t even serve mapo tofu.” Like yes girl.
I will say that the author mixed in some rape / pedophilia that kind of felt unnecessary and didn’t really contribute to the plot. But otherwise…
I saw a lot of hate on GoodReads that Lore wasn’t consistently like a badass female warrior the entire time. But the truth is, Lore lived through a lot of trauma. Sometimes the strength is being soft and trusting others again. It’s learning to receive again. I thought it was beautiful.

Amazing and I loved every second of reading it. It’s not for everyone and I completely understand that.
I love the mix of Greek mythology and modern settings. And Lore (main character) had a interesting viewpoint as the story was told mostly from her perspective.
I’ve already recommended it to a few friends before I finished reading it. There were parts of the story that did make me a little emotional or frustrated.
Overall, I give this a 8/10.
