Bracken does a wonderful job weaving a new story out of Greek mythology and explaining background while not treating the reader like someone completely unfamiliar with the tales. No loose ends.

The only thing I would’ve preferred is if the characters had been aged up slightly (putting the MC at 20 or 21 instead of 17). Loved it otherwise.
