Neon Gods by Katee Robert
2.0
I mean, it wasn't bad... I think I expected too much out of this book because of all the hype that is behind this particular book.
The characters were fine but I honestly didn't really care about any of them. I did really like Hermes but she wasn't in the story nearly as much as I wish she was. Maybe she will be more of a focus in future books. As for Persephone and Hades... they were fine but they felt more like cardboard cutouts than actual people. I just wish there was more characterization and character growth than what we got.
The plot could have been more interesting than it actually was. There was a whole build up and an actually really interesting world here but you wouldn't know it because NOTHING HAPPENS. Maybe Roberts will use the world to its full extent in the next books but wish she utilized it here as well.
Overall, this book was fine but not anything amazing.
