This book was described as Greek mythology meets The Hunger Games. It was definitely violent and dark. So obviously I loved it.
I related pretty quickly to the main character after she was fist fighting in a basement and dropped this thought
“Lore was not about to die on booze soaked mats in the basement of a Chinese restaurant that didn’t even serve mapo tofu.” Like yes girl.
I will say that the author mixed in some rape / pedophilia that kind of felt unnecessary and didn’t really contribute to the plot. But otherwise…
I saw a lot of hate on GoodReads that Lore wasn’t consistently like a badass female warrior the entire time. But the truth is, Lore lived through a lot of trauma. Sometimes the strength is being soft and trusting others again. It’s learning to receive again. I thought it was beautiful.
