I am obsessed, this gave The Hunger Games vibes but with Greek mythology. Two of my favorite things. 

The Greek gods hold a competition every 100 years and they get to choose a mortal champion to compete for them. The winner gets to be the king or queen of the gods. Intrigued yet? You should be. This story follows Lyra, Hades champion. But we do get insight in to all of the other gods and their champions as well through Lyraโ€™s eyes. 

The story? Outstanding. 
The romance? Electric.

It did have a bit of a slow start, but it did not take long to pick up and kept me hanging on every single word. The trials kept it action packed, in between carried a lot of character growth and back stories, and then we have the romance which had me swooning. 

10/10 highly recommend, would definitely recommend preordering the deluxe edition of book 2 now as well while it lasts! 

And leave Lyra tf alone, she is all of us. I too have self doubts consistently, and if you donโ€™t are you okay? 

Anyways, if you love Greek mythology, with THG vibes, and an urban feel, go pick this up! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’•
