My second time reading Lore and I adored it just as much as I remembered. Greek mythology, urban fantasy, a powerful and vulnerable cast of characters and New York City as it’s setting, a dream come true.

I love Greek mythology and stories that are based off of the myths, but I almost DNF this book. I struggled to get to the end where I felt like it finally picked up and then just.... ended.
There were some good twists and character developments in the book, but I just had a hard time staying attached to this book.

Read this for book club! Started off boring and confusing but last that it got so good!!! So many plot twists you would never expect and had a cute ending. GREAT!!!
Trigger warnings: violence, murder, human sacrifice
(3.5 stars, rounded up)
I struggled with a way to describe this book without going into too much plot detail, but it's The Hunger Games meets Greek Mythology. The gods and their descendants are all involved in a competition for power in modern-day New York City. Lore has been trained for combat since childhood in a Divergent-style arena.
Lore is the last of the line of Perseus after her family is murdered, and she has left that life behind... Or so she thinks.
When old friends show up at a fight Lore is participating in, she is left reeling. Her former life returns to her completely when an injured Athena shows up at her door, begging for assistance.
Lore is thrust back into the world of godly lineages and their thirst for power, which can be obtained by killing a god or aligning with one. Lore and her friends have many setbacks and victories as they try to end a new god's quest for total domination.
Recommended for fans of Percy Jackson or The Hunger Games. Recommended for older teens and adults as the content is more violent than Percy Jackson.
I received an electronic galley copy of this title from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great book! I loved the interesting take on Greek history.
This was not at all what I expected: I was thinking it would be like Circe, though it is more like Percy Jackson. It’s a bit bloody which isn’t my thing (and surprisingly graphic for its YA reputation), but really fun. I always appreciate a strong female lead as well.
