The love story felt well developted, the characters new and fresh. I didn't think I'll like reading about the trial (not really my style) but i was dead wrong. Also the preexisting love between the men was so well written.

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)

4.0

Out of all the books in this series, this is the one I was most hesitant about - and that is entirely because of the characters involved. I wasn’t sure how the relationship of Achilles and Petracles would be portrayed, and I didn’t know if my heart could take them being enemies. I shouldn’t have been worried though, Katee Robert creates a modern relationship dynamic that is not only plausible, but feels accurate to some of the components of the base myth. As we learn more about these characters we also learn more about the danger that appears to encroach on Olympus - all of which is heightened by the competition and burgeoning relationship of our trio - Helen, Achilles, and Petracles. 4/5
