Lore by Alexandra Bracken
2.0
Greek Mythology meets the hunger games I really wanted to love this book! I tried, I finished it but as each chapter went on o lost more and more interest.
The houses were a great concept. Each descended from a Greek hero, some tied to the old gods, some not. The inner workings of these houses, the politics and the culture was cleaver and we'll thought out.
I enjoyed that each god very much had their own distinct personality and characteristics.
However, the story started to feel very repetitive. Major twists by the time they were revealed felt obvious and Lore kept having the same inner dialogue.
I'm glad I read Lore and a great introduction to mythology but not my favorite
