DNF. Read two chapters and couldn’t keep up with the info dumps :( Wasn’t expecting this to be a common issue with the book

This book does a wonderful job of incorporating mythology with a modern plot. Good for reads who casually enjoy fantasy. It was a wonderful mystery that turned into so much more.

Absolutely brilliant - this book is an excellent future dystopia addition to the classical reception tradition. The book uses the stories and legends passed down, mainly from Greek Myth though I hope the series will branch out further in the next book, to weave a complex story of family, divine descendants and the painful survival of civilisation in a ruined world.

This is the first book in some time that I just couldn't put down - it is so, so well written and the characters feel so real. The journey Io goes on as she investigates murders, wraiths and the violent past of her home came with so many horrors and revelations I was just fully happy to be along for the ride.

I also loved the way being other-born was written throughout this book. It pays homace to the mythical Canon without feeling the need to not build on it and play with it in complex, eye opening ways. The author uses and abuses Myth as fundamentally as the ancients did and she uses it to hold up a mirror, as intended.

Excellent.

This was actually so fun! I didn’t think that any of the plot twists were really plot twists to me I thought that they were obvious or maybe stated idk. I still loved it and can’t wait for the next one. It did take me a while to understand the world building cause it was a lot of deities and mythologies in one world but it wasn’t too complicated.
