This book is mediocre, at best. 
Would have DNF'd if it wasn't for my buddy read.

uuuu si me gusto jajajaja
pues la verdad si me gusto para que les miento, solo no es un libro wooow, pero me divertí y la pase bien OJO, la pase bien por que traté de apagar lo mejor que pude la parte de mi cerebro que me decía "no los mitos griegos no dicen eso, no las cosas no son asi" (sobre todo por que la autora confundía mitos romanos con griegos, si estoy hablando específicamente del mito de medusa), así que si quieren leerlo por que creen que van a aprender un montón sobre mitología clásica helénica no es su libro, pero si quieren leer algo tipo los juegos del hambre pero de dioses griegos adelanteeee.

pd. la verdad se mi hiso respetuoso hacia la creencia helenica, en ese sentido la autora si supo manejarlo

it definitely is slow at the beginning, but once i really got into the book i could not put it down! i 100% recommend this if you love greek mythology, but i would also recommend grabbing a tissue or two!

This is technically YA, but I’m an adult reader and very much enjoyed it. There’s a lot of critique of patriarchal culture and I LOVE the idea of teens reading that. I loved the conceptualizations of Greek myths in contemporary nyc and the explorations of power and corruption. If anything I wish it had been written for the adult reader! I’d love a sequel because I really loved the characters but this was definitely written as a one off.
