I liked the art, but I thought the story was a little awkward and didn't resolve very well.

I just loved the characters so much. By the end of this suspenseful and magical story I felt like I knew them implicitly. Solid writing lends to a very atmospheric tale. On to the second!

I'm not sure I would have kept reading the physical book, but the narration kept me going. I liked this story more than I thought I would, and it was very well written. I enjoyed how different lives were wound together through the lens of Greek gods. I'd give this to more mature teens or adults who appreciate historical fiction/romance. The historical detail was excellent, not too overwhelming but well informed and readable. Definitely heart wrenching in some parts. It was a very good book with interesting characters, but I don't think they'll stay with me over time.

Ooooo yes. I honestly couldn't put it down. Great suspense, the characters felt real, the plot twists were surprising. I had a little trouble in the beginning keeping tack of the shifting perspectives, but once I got to know the characters better I appreciated that I got to hear from all of them. Also, this is a book that is self-aware of the character tropes its plays into before totally dismantling those tropes in the interests of character development. Super fast, darkly entertaining read.

Lovely and terrifying. This well-researched and creative novel travels beyond the norm, and the audiobook will make you quiver. Guaranteed.
