whether or not it's based on/inspired by/retelling the odyssey is irrelevant. timeline-wise, it is at best ambiguous and at worst nonsensical. the characters are messy which should have made them endearing but instead it's just like there's nothing going on up there. it kinda drags, almost nothing happens, and there's hardly any action until the last 15% of the book. the writing style isn't bad, it's actually very good, but it can't cover up everything else. it feels very confused on what it wants to be.

de romance was zo goed en een subplot en ik ben in griekenland en dit is grieks en het is zo geweldig en kut want wat was dit stop stop stop

Lmaoooooo it’s so obvious that Sarah Underwood didn’t read the Odyssey before writing this. This was an infuriating read, as Macy can attest. It was a really interesting premise but unfortunately the execution fell flat.
