This book was awesome!

I loved it soooooi much. The story was perfectly laid out and captivated me from the beginning to the end. 
I also liked the writing and stirytelling wgich weren't to complicated, so it was easy to completely focus on the story itself.
You also don't have to be that much of a greek mythology nerd, as I am, to understand the things mentioned in this book, but some knowledge before reading is good.

I still need to warn everyone about the trigger warnings, because there are some hard ones.

oh melora, love of mine. This book has given me everything, a female MC that is not a pick me, strong, independent, whose existence doesn't depend on a pleasing a male, and with a development of her own, a male MC that defies toxic masculinity, side characters that are lovable and have a personality of their own, literally so in love with this book.

This book was an adventure! I enjoyed every second absorbing its story! I missed the Percy Jackson craze growing up and read two of the books and have found it hard to continue given its younger demographic writing style. I would say this book is definitely for those fans who grew up and want more adventure, more fighting, more gore, more realism, more magic.
