I had fun reading this! It's fast-paced and well-constructed, with really engaging characters and fun twists. I have nothing deep to say about this book other than I had fun.

”’I was born knowing how to do three things - how to breathe, how to dream, and how to love you.’’”

I can’t get over how much I love this book. I wasn’t expecting to love it this much because I thought parts of the plot were going to be predictable. It wasn’t until Athena’s betrayal that I realised how much I was enthralled!

I didn’t predict any of the plots regarding the Aegis throughout the book, only the Apollo storyline and what I thought would be the Wrath storyline. However, this book just subverted my every expectation and had me kicking myself for not realising things sooner. 10/10 would recommend this book to anyone!
