Drag Me Up by R.M. Virtues

2.0

It always makes me feel a little like an asshole to say this, but this book had so much potential. I know that writing is hard and I believe that everyone who does it deserves appreciation. This version of the Greek myth is is fascinating. I love the city and how things are set up. I love that Zeus is an overindulged brat whose brother has always cleaned up after. I love that Hades is a caretaker and is supportive and protective of the children Zeus abandoned.
However, the writing did not work for me. The prose was awkward and distracting. In places, common phrases were altered in an odd way. It often took me right out of the story.
I love the idea and the world but not the execution.
