This is absolutely adorable, with a lot of drama and depth with the different parts of the story going on at the same time. The characters are adorable and the rivals to friends to lovers is just so great and enjoyable. I finished the audiobook in one night even though I was expecting the story to be a bit shorter, but I am totally not complaining. I loved it.

4.5

4.5 stars. I wasn't the biggest fan of the love triangle as I liked both of the love interests, but it was clear who Micah will end up with. It did have one of my favorite tropes in the book but because of the love triangle I was split on it, but in the end I loved it. Definitely not a 5 star read, but it was definitely fun and I loved how Micha talks about art. As an artist myself, when reading about artist main characters I can't help but notice how awkward the descriptions are done or the character forgets about their passion really fast. But Adam Sass did a great job with it and it made Micha's experience with art feel realistic.

The art, the thematic, the story, the mythology, it's all great and cute, but the pacing felt a bit too fast for my liking and I wish we got to know better the side characters. We did see a little from Serena's character but it wasn't as in depth as I would have loved and especially with the other two girls in the friend group. And I know it's a graphic novel and for the pages it is it would have been hard to do, but maybe if it was more pages of the story instead of the explanatory notes about the creation of the characters by the author at the end, it would have been great. As much as I am an artist and I love that, I wish I could have spent more time with the characters instead. I didn't feel that big of a emotional connection in the big scenes because it all felt so fast paced. I would totally recommend it thought. It's a great fast read.

I am not sure if it's 4.5 stars or low 5 because the beginning felt like a filler and while it was fun to read it wasn't the most interesting or exciting. But the book made me cry in the last 2 chapters because of Tyson. I love him, he is such a pure character and I love that. And even though I had spoiled myself to the ending by accident by checking how many pages the book is, it was still exciting for me to read.

The ending and the family moments are my favorite of the book and the sexy moments weren't too much. There was enough spice but it wasn't overboard. It was a bit too repetitive the main characters to constantly be saying "it's fake dating, we can't actually be together", but it had such fun moments. What I liked was that the drama of the book kept the characters from not actually start dating instead of them getting together and then being separated, it makes the book feel more fresh to me. But the grand romantic gesture at the end was my favorite as it was so funny. Overall a great book.

I didn't expect to like this book as much as I am not a fan of Greek mythology but I loved it. It was such a fun adventure and so funny. I loved the characters and end broke me a little bit. And I feel like the fact that I didn't know much about Greek mythology let me clueless for longer and only when the action was heating up I got my theories of what was going to happen. 

She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

Hadn't listed to it for a while and I kept forgetting what's happening. Will pick it up again another time, just need to be more in the mood for it and not try to speed run it because i was getting confused with the names and what was happening.
