alchemistix 's review for:
Lore
by Alexandra Bracken
Was I really supposed to feel any sort of tension during battles when it was well established that Castor literally had a god level ability to heal anybody and everybody, no matter how severe the wound? Ohhh, she got hit in the head - healed. Oh dislocated shoulder - healed. Literally dead - healed.
Was I supposed to feel any sort of compassion for Athena who literally tortured a baby and little girl to get information from the parents????? She did NOT deserve to figure out Zeus’ riddle and “ascend”. Boooooooooooooooo.
Castor and Lore’s relationship was lackluster. Any kind of fun chemistry died after the flashbacks. When they are older we are just “told” that they care for each other, and depend on each other. Blah blah blah. I saw NONE of it. In fact, they seem to deeply mistrust each other. Lore has severe anger issues and Castor has severe “I don’t belong here” issues, and they don’t seem to help balance each other out at all, despite their very opposite problems. Booooooooo.
They should have just focused on Lore, and taken Castor completely out of the equation. Athena was funny, until it was revealed she tortures babies. At that point, my love for her plummeted…
The concept was cool tho. Every 7 years u get an opportunity to kill a god, and get their powers. Kinda epic
