so i was a bit confused about a couple things-such as why athena left lore alive and whether or not lore actually had the aegis or not. it made sense that she would but she kept denying it and until the flashback where she stole it, you werent really sure whether she had it or not.
when athena killed the reveler i was like oh ok, youre evil. got it. i also expected castor to end up mortal at the end, i had no idea how though.

The essence of Percy Jackson and The Hunger Games combined, Lore tells the story of Lore, the sole survivor of the House of Perseus, who stepped down from her powerful position to live amongst mortals. Every seven years, Agon happens and when it does, every Greek gods are cursed to live as mortals for seven days. During which, they all have only two options, either hunt or be hunted.
Lore was captivating from the very first page. It’s a very action-packed book mix with the right amount of sprinkles of some Greek mythology to it. Surprisingly too, the book was very fast paced for me? I finished reading it in one sitting basically and the experience of it all was truly a rollercoaster one indeed. Alexandra Bracken’s writing style truly amuses me. She’s just super good at writing and aaaah I love her books so much!!!
I enjoyed the overall story. But I felt it was a bit too confusing at times, as if there were too many subplots.. It took me quite a while to finish it as I didn't really care for the pace of the story. I don't regret reading it but I won't necessarily recommend it either

I enjoyed the story and it has a really interesting premise. As someone who's not as familiar with Greek mythology, I struggled a lot to follow all of the references. Gods are called multiple names and sometimes referenced by reputation rather than a name at all. It would have been a little easier to follow if I'd seen the Cast of Characters at the end of the book before I'd finished it. Even then, a lot of more minor myths are referenced throughout without full background and the prevalence of things I had to look up to fully understand impacted my enjoyment of the story and how long it took me to finish. That said, it was compelling with twists I didn't see coming. The end was a little abrupt.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book.
I have a love of mythology especially the greek mythos so reading a modern novel set in that sort of world was amazing.
I really hope this could be expanded into a larger series either a direct sequel or spin off but if not this was such a fun stand alone read.

3,5 estrellas. La trama estaba MUY bien, y podría haber tenido más futuro, de verdad era un buen tema y podrían haberle sacado más provecho. He sentido que a veces me he perdido un poco en la lectura y he tenido que volver páginas atrás para entender algunas cosas del mundo del libro. Bajo mi punto de vista el final podría haber sido más elaborado y no haber ocurrido tan rápido, ya que se pasa muchos capítulos contando como entran a un sitio y en apenas uno ya está terminando de contar una disputa. Pero dentro de lo que cabe no está mal, aunque me lo esperaba mejor.
