Lovely War by Julie Berry
5.0
I just want to start this off by saying I RARELY GIVE OUT 5 STAR REVIEWS. BUT THIS WAS A 5 STAR READ FOR ME. IT WAS STUNNING. This had all my favourite things including GREEK MYTHOLOGY, love stories, and you're actually learning about history at the same time? Unreal.
I think my favourite genre is historical fantasy, aka historical fiction with a magical component, and this book definitely falls into that category. Julie made learning about World War 1 so interesting, and I loved that we got to see the story unfold through the eyes of different Greek Gods.
The writing and plot was absolutely stunning and you will cry, but it's not the kind of book that will absolutely destroy you either. The ending was so satisfying and I think everyone should read this book once in their life! GO READ IT RIGHT NOW :)
