emotional abuse, gaslighting and toxic relationship are not between the main characters but from the FMC’s previous relationship. domestic abuse and death of parent are historical and did not happen to any of the main characters. FMC was witness to and affected by it. FMC experiences sexism and misogyny from several people around her through the entire story.

this has a surprising amount of plot for being a Katee Robert book lol
but I enjoyed the worldbuilding of it and I appreciated that Achilles and Patrocles were a couple before they brought Helen into the mix
Not much to say other than it's like hunger games but more sexy

Quick review so I can get right to the next one 🏃🏼‍♀🏃🏼‍♀🏃🏼‍♀

I love, love, love Helen, Patroclus and Achilles' relationship in this — it's tender, it's years in the making, it's brand new, it's achingly sweet and so fucking hot at times and I devoured all the scenes of them just together.

The plot was interesting enough but I have to say the reactions to who became Ares in the end didn't really make sense for me in the context of the book — it just felt really iffy?? Idk. But let's be real, none of us are here for the plot, okay.

I'm excited to see what's next in the Dark Olympus universe (maybe a bit more plot actually?) and the developments with the 13 are so fun!! I love drama 😈

(Also: have a really toxic and unhealthy crush on Perseus. Send help. Or a book about him)

This was so good. The HEA was rushed, but I liked the badass heroine.
