Lore

I have always been a big fan of mythology, however, I've always found it a bit confusing. With that being said, this book was the perfect book for me! It was so unique and a great take on a modern day Greek mythology.

Many years ago Zeus created the Agon-every 7 years the Gods will walk the earth as mortals for 7 days. And for these 7 days bloodlines of the great heroes of past can hunt them and, if killed, take their immortality and power. Lore is one of the last of her bloodline and has turned away from the very secret world of the hunt after her family was brutally murdered. Now, 7 years later, Lore finds herself being drawn back in after Athena herself comes to her for aid and an old friend, thought dead, returns in her life.

I, unfortunately, have become one of those people that falls asleep every time she starts to read. If that wasn't the case I feel like I would have spent many sleepless nights with this one. There is adventure, betrayal, friendship, romance, and, of course, Greek mythology. The relationships and characters are easy to like and to relate to. Lore is an incredibly strong and intelligent woman and works through her flaws and her self awareness through the span of the book. I love a book with some good character growth!

Overall I would highly recommend this book to those that love fantasy and especially retellings of mythology. Even if you are just a sucker for some strong female leads you will probably enjoy this book!
