While this book starts with a strong premise, I found that it pales compared to other similar novels. Much of the writing is inconsistent in style and often the plot can become dull in the name of furthering the themes of the novel. The protagonist is the core of this book but also suffers from a lack of character or development, with some of her actions feeling random. This book is bold to attempt a war novel in a Greek mythos setting, but often it confuses its premise rather than enhancing it.
