Ichor by Trish D.W
5.0

Ichor is the embodiment of what I want a mythology book to be. The main character, Saffron, was beautifully written. She goes through so much growth and I loved following along for the ride. I thought I knew a lot about Greek mythology but the amount I learned in this book was truly amazing!

It was definitely a fresh new take on a mythological world where all the Olympians fight to own humans and is them as slaves in their houses. It’s a very bleak world for the humans. When it was Saffron’s turn to be fought for in the arena, more Gods and Goddesses than ever before enter the arena floor to own her. And so starts the adventure that leads us to believe Saffron is no ordinary human!

Tropes:
Slow Burn
The Chosen One
Arranged Marriage
