C'ÉTAIT FOU vraiment un one shot incroyable surtout si vous aimez la mythologie, j'ai trouvé l'intrigue hyper originale et intéressante avec un ptit soupçon de romance qui fait pas trop mais qui fait le taff, de la diversité, une mc charismatique et qui a des vrais objectifs une vraie histoire elle est trop incroyable je sais plus ce que je voulais dire d'autre mais lisez ça vaut le coup

Lore, Gorl! It was all the things I wanted in a book, action, adventure, girl bossing, and a tiny touch of romance that wasn’t the main plot. Also loved the fact that it was a standalone because ya girl isn’t ready to commit to a series quite yet…

4,5 bien alto. no llega a ser de mis favoritos porque no me fascino, pero es uno de los mejores que he leido, a parte de que me encanta la mitologia griega.
la historia es unica y me encantaria verla en el cine.

I really love Greek mythology and YA so this should have been impeccable but I have mixed feelings about it.

It was very convoluted in places and often I just had no idea what was going on. However, the writing is brilliant and the characters are great (I loveeeee Miles). I love the world building (when I could make sense of it). But it was annoying because I got bored at like 80% in and just skipped through the rest. The ending was also…insanely anticlimactic.

I’m torn, to be honest.
