This book was awesome!

I loved it soooooi much. The story was perfectly laid out and captivated me from the beginning to the end. 
I also liked the writing and stirytelling wgich weren't to complicated, so it was easy to completely focus on the story itself.
You also don't have to be that much of a greek mythology nerd, as I am, to understand the things mentioned in this book, but some knowledge before reading is good.

I still need to warn everyone about the trigger warnings, because there are some hard ones.

 I loved this book and I couldn’t stop reading. Though the start was a little slow but once it got going it didn’t stop. At first I didn’t think I would like Lore but as the book went on I fell in love with her. She wasn’t like the typical young adult heroine where they are all about them. She listened to her friends and didn’t really do that much stupid stuff. Though I do have to say Miles and Van were my two favorite characters. Alexandra Bracken wrote the perfect blend of the old Greek myth with a modern day setting. Her writing was easy to follow and get into. I will be recommending this to all my friends. Thank you Netgalley and Hyperion for letting read and review this book.
