This book is average at best and doesn’t stand out amongst other mythological retellings. A lot of it reads like tumblr posts; vaguely linked to mythology but told through a weird modern lens that really just feels like audience pandering. A lot of unrelated characters and stories are also forced in where they don’t really fit, and serve no real purpose. 

The book movies way too fast and there’s no real development of characters and plot. I almost gave up half way through because I hit a scene that made me eye roll so hard, and it didn’t really get better from there.
