If you enjoyed The Hunger Games and Red Rising, you will likely enjoy this. I think the plot is not as tight as the other too and the pacing isn't great. It was not the book for me, but I would recommend it to people who enjoy battle and strategy with Greek myths and romance.

There were one or two more things I didn't love. Specifically the end battle which was not as epic as I expected. The two major twists which were totally predictable to me, and the fact that Lore could not shut up about how pretty Cas was every second they were together.

I liked it, but won't be re-reading it.
