I love a good Greek retelling, and this book definitely satisfied the urge. It's very visual and open-door, but I really like the world Robert created, if it is a little confusing. The city appears to be somehow on this earth, as Persephone mentions wanting to leave Olympus and go to grad school at Berkley, which is in present-day California, so I did find there to be some plot holes, but nothing too major. The book sets up nicely a future for sequels - the next one drops this month and I can't wait!
