Lore was first described to me as Ancient Greek mythology meets modern New York City meets the Hunger Games. Quickly, though, I learned it is so much more than that.
Throughout the book, we follow a girl, Lore, struggling with her self-hatred as her past continually tries to catch up to her and the future she tried so hard to make for herself. But, in order to save her friends and her beloved city, she must face the Agon, the hunt she desperately wanted to be a part of seven years previous, and end it. Once and for all.
Lore is split up into five parts. Each section had wildly different lengths which disrupted the rhythm of the story. However, by the end of part one, I was sucked in so thoroughly it was hard to notice. By the time I got to the last part, I was stuck in this inner-battle of not wanting to put it down and not wanting it to end.
The romance in this book is beautifully subtle. Not dominating the plot, but there.
Generally, the foreshadowing in Lore was wonderfully hidden, though, I did see some plot points coming. Also, at the end, I still had some unanswered questions. Some of Zeus’ actions seemed... out of character, but none of the problems were bad enough to even bring it down a star.
This book mixed action-packed scenes, betrayal, romance, a toxic hierarchy, and found family in an extremely unique way. I expected nothing less from Alexandra Bracken. To be honest, I am a bit biased because her series, the Darkest Minds, was the book series that really got me into reading and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Lore, it seems, will do the same.
