This didn't wow me. It was alright and I was surprised by the twist but it didn't really capture me in the way I'd hoped. 
I liked the Greek Mythology lens.

SPOILERS!!!!! I really didn’t expect the ending but it made me more sad than intrigued. I felt so bad for the young Zoe who was taken advantage of. I also felt like they threw a lot of things in the end that I didn’t have time to process. But it was pretty good!
