"He was supposed to be a myth."
The first few chapters were really captivating. Being new to the Greek Myth genre, I would say that this is a pretty good book to start with. The limited number of characters made it more digestible for me. I enjoyed Hades's thought process. He may have a bad reputation, but he has integrity. I appreciated the little details that made them sound more modern and "human". World building part was okay, and if that's all there is in their cities, then... it's so bland? Lol.
It felt too fast after the few good first chapters. I'm not sure if this is YA but it reads like it. That said, it felt underdeveloped. I'm not well-versed in GM, but I wanted more.
