I will say that it did take a bit in the beginning, but it picked right up in the middle and it never stopped
Marie was an ENTIRE mood this and honestly, this is a duo I'd reread again in a heartbeat

The book is well paced. The magic is interesting. The plot is exciting. Still grumpy about the teenager to 600 year old relationship groan. But other than that, it was a fun read.
Moderate: Gun violence and Toxic relationship

What I really did like was the character growth of Briseis over the two books and how she came into her powers. Though I loved the character growth of Briseis I wish we had a chance to find out more about some of the side characters too. Who knows maybe we will get another book in the same universe.
The plot was also good, but I think was expecting more adventure with how the last book left off. I think the exception versus reality was why this is a 4 star read and not a 4.5 or 5 star read.
By all means though I still highly recommend this duology for a lovers of YA urban fantasy and for Greek mythology retellings. I enjoyed it a lot and would read it again.
