Castle of Lies by Kiersi Burkhart

"eARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
It's not great. Granted, it's not terrible. It's even somewhat amusing. But also it's not great.
The characters seem to change every chapter. One minute Thalia is a manipulative schemer and Percy is sneaky gossip monger, and the next they grow sentimental or helpful even though previous characterization would point otherwise. And with so many POVs, especially in first person, it is strange that it keeps shifting the motivations for each character. I wish the book would have just been told from Thalia's point of view.
