I’m not going to lie, this book really disappointed me. For some reason I felt very disconnected from the story and I don’t like the ending at all. It felt very formulaic and basic, I was hoping for more.
4 Stars
A great “I love mythology, but I’m too old for Percy Jackson” read. I appreciate how much detail went into accuracy of setting and history. I enjoyed the characters and, despite reading others complaints to this fact, I thought Lore’s back-and-forth battle of her desire in life felt so true to me. I could completely identify as someone raised to have different ideals than I consider to be what I would choose for myself now. There’s not enough character depth to give it 5 stars, but it has a solid 4 for storyline and pace.

Loved this book! Very Percy Jackson and hunger games coded! Wanted more castor and the ending felt kind of open and want a sequel.

I have been picked up and transplanted back to six years in the past: right in my Percy Jackson era. I loved the lore (hahahaha aren’t I clever) in this book. Sometimes books like this can be hard for me to wrap my head around but I caught on to this story pretty fast. I wish this was me rooting my own horn but I have to give credit to Alexandra Bracken for a well-thought out and well-executed fantasy storyline.
My one complaint with this book is that the characters were a little flat and it was (perhaps) a little predictable at times. But these didn’t detract from the magic of the setting or the story and I would still recommend this book to anyone who has ever taken an interest in Greek mythology.
