Everybody needs to read this NOW. It stayed on the dusty shelves of my tbr for years, for fear that it would not be good. As soon as I saw Meyer and Lu endorsing the books (on the cover), I knew its time had come. 

✅ perfect for fans of percy jackson (i.e. greek mythology)
✅ action-packed from the first page to the last (check TW)
✅ urban-fantasy (I thought it would bother me as it had in Crescent City, but not at all)
✅ great MC: Lore is giving greek mythology Katniss
✅ a dash of (straight & queer) romance, but not at the forefront of the story (which is perfect)
✅ great side-characters with enough depth to their story that they stay relevant
✅ a dash of humour, well-placed in the story
✅ perfect for fans of NYC as well

Idk what to tell you. Just read it.
