Okay so this book wasn't what I expected but I loved it. I know many people especially one's who love greek mythology did not enjoy this book. I am a big mythology fan myself but I didn't have an issue with the book. There were a few times where I thought the portrayal of the gods was a but strange but nothing big enough to influence my enjoyment of the story.

The writing style was great. This is the first book I've read by Alexandra Bracken and I definitely want to read more! The Darkest Minds has been on my tbr for a while so I'm excited to read that soon :)

The ending was quite abrupt and a bit under explained imo and that's part of the reason my I didn't give it 5 stars. I genuinely enjoyed it but it just wasn't five stars for me.

Edit: After sleeping on it I decided to give it 4 instead of 5.75. There were no real plot twists and everything that was explained I had already guessed before. The things I couldn't figure out on my own weren't explained in the end which left me confused.

This is a super-fast paced book.  Maybe even a little too fast paced for my taste.  I also didn't care for the sections set in the past.  However, the characters are real and flawed.  They are honestly my favorite part of the book.  There are some crazy plot twists, and the book is never predicable.  The way the mythology influences the book is well thought out, and it makes the evens of Greek myths seem real. 

Will I read more by Alexandra Bracken?: Honestly, this was too quick for my taste, but it wasn't bad.  I won't seek her out, but I won't avoid her, either.

Who do I recommend this too?: People who like fast-paced books, lots of plot twists, violent books, urban fantasy, or fans of Greek mythology.
