Game of Strength and Storm by Rachel Menard
5.0
Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the arc. I was intrigued by the beautiful artwork on the cover as well as the description but my expectations were low since I'm not really into Greek mythology. Turned out, the story gripped me since the beginning. Even though, most of the second half of the book had me feeling 3 stars but the ending changed my mind. It's a solid 4.5 for me.
The writing style was promising with a good pacing. The characters were 'whale' written (iykyk) but the romance bit felt a bit forced and lukewarm to me, (it might've been because I didn't care much about Lux for the first half). Though Castor's bit were more interesting to read about. Given chance, I'd certainly pick up the second series to learn more about the past and all the secrets of that empire and of course my lovely Castor who has done only one thing wrong that pierced my heart as well as Bale, The empresses and my baby Gen.
