I'm a bit conflicted, I went into this expecting one thing and got something else instead. I didn't know this was YA, so I was anticipating a complex romantic rivalry or morally grey situations brought on by the war between gods. That initial mismatch along with a foggy way of world building made the first half of the book hard to get through. 
Once the plot picked up I found myself invested and enjoying the book. Truths are slowly revealed that make you realize things aren't what they appear to be.. And with an ending like that too, I need to read the second book.
