The characterisation in this book might as well not even exist. These people are like ghosts, like shadows. Their motivations are like wisps of fog in the wind, there if you squint, dispelled into nothing the next second. The flashbacks have barely any bearing on the characters now. If their past has no bearing on their present, why should I care for their future?
I struggled so much to get through this. The author had so much there to work with. It was like high quality clay in a beautiful studio and she just whacked it with a hammer and said yo here, read this.
The setting is underused. The magic system is basically non-existent. I don't even know why the Greek gods element exists, because it never adds a unique element to it. The characters are bleak roadmaps of something fully realised. I hate this book. I have no idea what the purpose even is. Why did she choose these elements? Why this plot? Why this book?
1.5 stars because I'm sick of reading about the human equivalent of white bread running around doing the bare minimum. I'm suppose to care about this? Really?
