It has truly been some time since a book has caused me to be so internally reflective through viewing another’s experiences, even if they are fictitious ones. This book truly gave me the opportunity to experience adventure and the tumultuous experiences of Life, Love and War. I appreciate all that this novel brought as well as the directions it led my mind to think in, especially the fact that there is so much more complexities to politics, relationships and the human (or in this case demigod/god) experience.
