Very fast paced so not a boring moment however I didn't find myself especially connected to the main characters - I liked them sure and was rooting for them but I didn't feel emotional at certain points. The book has high stakes so I would have liked to feel that more
The book definitely has some dark moments and some of the groups that feature in the story are quite backwards/ misogynistic so these were aspects our main character had to overcome. I think the book handled trauma and grief well in general especially with found family elements.
I was left with a few questions at the end so I feel like it wrapped up maybe a little too quickly.
Overall though I do recommend this book though do check the trigger warnings if you know that you have specific issues with certain topics.

Dark, fast paced and action packed!
Greek mythology set in the modern world with fantastic storytelling and truly moving Greek tragedy interwoven.
Easy to read and hard to put down this book grips you from start to finish, could easily see this being made into a movie.
Fans of mythology retelling's, strong female characters, dark twists and romantic tension will love this book.
