I really enjoyed this book. I will say the writing style was not my favorite and I would get lost in the middle of some scenes - but maybe I had been reading to fast. The twists kept coming and I didn’t see them from a mile away (and I like to think I’m pretty good at seeing plot twists in other books). Overall, the story was great and I loved seeing the depiction of the Greek gods through this book. It felt more accurate to the true myths of the gods and the story of Lore and her friends was captivating and something great to root for.
