I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but wow did it exceed whatever expectations I could have set. Such a refreshing take on Helen's story and overall a fun concept. My only complaint is I could have read more and I wish it was longer.

The overall premise for this book does involve a physical contest of wit and strength, and therefore people do get hurt and it is graphically described in some cases. This is also a spicy book for those who haven't read the first two. It is very graphic in the descriptions. In addition, Helen does struggle with moving past her childhood where she wasn't explicitly abused physically or emotionally, but she was treated as sub-par and her father did essentially abuse her emotionally. Those who have read the first two books will be aware of the following:

Zeus, Helen's dad, killed her mom, and it is described in detail

3.0

I terms of the series so far this lands right in the middle. I adored Electric Idol but didn’t like Neon Gods. I didn’t hate but didn’t love this one. I liked Helen she was a woman in charge of herself despite others trying to control her. Achilles started out as a total asshole that eventually shifted into a single minded idiot. Patroclus is too nice of a person to be stuck with Achilles. I loved how they understood Helen’s past trauma and respected and helped her heal from it. It was a good book, just not my favorite.
