i read this purely bc i knew it was going to be trash. but geez. yall live like this?? i did laugh out loud several times. but not when the author wanted me to, i’m sure.
Enjoy my copious notes. Almost everything in quotes is directly from the text…
- “We own you.” 10 seconds after meeting 🤨
- Patroclus being nicknamed “Patro”
- Patroclus having Achilles name tattooed on the side of his NECK?
- “Free the nipple and the lip (vaginal?)”
- [this phrase has been said 3 times]
- ACHILLES IS MUZZLED ?
- Bird conspiracy theory??
- everybody got weird tattoos in odd places
- the crucible is so fucking boring…
- “someone [verb’d]. it was me.”
- a snake saying “pussy power!”
- random chapters from the male gods’ POV talking about how much they want to have sex with a 19 year old
- 50% through and Hercules hasn’t been mentioned
- Augustus/Kharon/Patroclus: Oops! All Edgelords
- reverse favoritism = bullying
- the sirens give lore olympus energy
- Augustus, after choking Alexis, “NO ONE TOUCH HER >>:( “
- Nyx, who is a snake, telling Alexis she needs to “get dicked down.”
- ladies is it feminist for men to “protect” you from making your own choices?
- Augustus being mad that Alexis’ classmate switched seats to be next to her
- Alexis is so oblivious and naive that I feel stupid while reading
- Treating the only female student differently from the others… this is like textbook sexism 💀
- “Because…no other man is allowed to have you…” 😐
- Other men can’t hurt Alexis but Augustus can grip her so hard she bruises, choke her, and violate her mind with his powers
- If you’re a boy, DO NOT FLIRT OR SHOW ANY KINDNESS towards Alexis. The scary old men will attack you.
- “Cunt, absolute cunt, served!”
- Gods using guns is just funny idk
- Of course she’s the daughter of Hades and Persephone… not sure how this makes her Hercules, son of Zeus
- this lady got 4+ men fighting over her and she is not interested AT ALL (GOOD!)
- Is the twist that they were evil the entire time??? Bc…duh ? 😭
- “We would torture anyone who hurt her” okay so kill yourself? LIKE?? skdkdjdjfjrjf
- so her given name is Hercules. completely divorced from the Hercules of myth… and her blood is her power… the Blood of Hercules. okay.
- this isn’t even enemies to lovers. it’s a weird power dynamic where two men bully a 19 year old girl for existing. not hot or sexy or even fun to read!
