I really thought this was going to be good… until politics got involved and there were some really vulgar uses of words and phrases that could have been left out or worded in a more appropriate manner.
I hated that every male character except maybe two was a massive misogynist. I hated Zeus, although that was a given, and every other Olympian introduced.
The ending was… a let down. The book should have ended when the trial ended. We should have had our verdict, and that be it really. The last 100 pages didn’t really add much to the book, and I found myself just skim reading.
Would recommend reading, but won’t pick up from this author again, just because of the word choices.
