Let me say this first, I did enjoy this book. It is that kind of read that you will enjoy if you want something easy, fun and fantastical. That being said, I do not think the writing style was particularly good; I could easily have read this on Wattpad or similar.
The plot was simplistic but fun and the tension and romance was entertaining. There is a large amount of sexual content and intimacy so be aware of it. This book is for a mature audience.
Overall I enjoyed it but I'm not sure if I would continue the series or re-read.

Coming into this book I didn't really know much about it but once I learned it was a myth adaptation I had such high expectations. Madeleine Miller has set every other author who wants to write something based on a myth to unattainable standards. Unfortunately it didn't meet these. However, I still enjoyed this book because it serves its purpose as a fan service novel for women so I can't really complain.
