This is definitely darker than I expected for a Greek Mythology retelling. There are trigger warnings in the beginning, but I didn't think there would be suicide ideation throughout the whole book. I understand why Alexis kept having those thoughts. She had a rough childhood and it gets worse for her. I found all the characters interesting. I am really intrigued by Achilles, Patro, Kharon, Augustus and Nyx. Nyx was so unhinged and delusional in the best way. I know a lot of shit is going to go down in the next book. I can't wait to see what happens even though the ending was abrupt.
