The book was something I have to read for college and I did thoroughly enjoy it. The characters took me on a rollercoaster of likable, to not, to despising them. The ending was quite abrupt and quite unsatisfactory even though it was trying to set up for the next book in the trilogy. I do wish there were trigger warnings in this book. As someone that didn't know this book was about or existed and is not heavily into Greek mythology, it would've definitely helped.
