The book was a little too fast-paced. There wasn’t enough time between events to develop characters and relationships, leaving much of the characters and relationships to be flat and difficult to connect to.

All in all, this was an enjoyable book. It was a quick and easy read and it kept me engaged. However, it is not my favourite Alexandra Bracken novel, nor do I think it is the best example of just how good a writer she is. I found parts of this story frustrating, in the sense that plot points seemed to be over-explained before the characters themselves worked out things that the readers knew chapters ago.

But, it’s an enjoyable story with fun characters and an intriguing concept. (Bracken sure does win points for creativity and unique plots) I would definitely recommend it to fans of action-packed YA titles, especially those with an interest in mythology.

As is pretty commonplace in my reviews. Please check content and trigger warnings before reading. There are a couple of plot points in this story that do focus on situations that could be triggering to certain readers.
