Tried to read this one dropped it because I guess I could feel how it was gonna end, a friend read it and loved it so I gave it another chance. It’s good but disappointing, and predictable especially if you know what happens at the end. Wish they delved more into certain plot points

trash, actual trash. This book is porn without plot and this wouldn't be a problem if the porn wasn't trash. The world building is terrible, the smut is terrible, the plot is terrible, the characters are flat. They spend 95% of this book fucking and the plot progressed in a way that felt like the author suddenly remembered she wasn't supposed to be writing a shitty fanfic smut. It's insulting to call this book wattpad writing because even wattpad has it's standards. This book is unbelievably bad it made me cry, don't waste you're time reading it you will regret it. It's not the greek myth retelling you're hoping for, it's just a copy and paste of the authors other work but with greek "gods" (they're basically human and the names are passed down as titles whch is FUCKING STUPID. SOME OF THEIR "GODS" ARE HIRED OR BORN INTO THE NAME/TITLE) Do yourself a favor and don't touch this book like it has covid.
