This book has such a unique concept and I am here for it. Greek mythology in a modern setting combined with a hunt. It was really cool and executed really well. I loved the way the Greek God could gain their immortality was really cool. And the amount of things that got revealed as it went along was amazing. The way that all of the characters were connected and how that all came to play was fun to read.

I really liked how we follow Lore, a strong female lead, that takes the reigns but still listens to everyone else. The book has a strong female lead without taking away from the male characters and their roles in the story. She was capable of being a leader and delegating but also was able to physically fight.

I also like the Ancient Greek words in the book and the history in it beyond the Gods. The world felt really well constructed.

This book is a solid 5/5, it is unique in a very good way.
