Estaba indecisa sobre si ponerle 3.5 o darle las cuatro estrellitas, pero es que aunque hubo momentos en que me costaba concentrarme y me aburría un poco, en general me gustó la historia y me encariñé mucho con los personajes.

I’m super disappointed to say I didn’t love it! I’ve heard so much hype about this book that now I just don’t understand. I was so close to putting this book down and not picking it back up.
To be fair, it did get a little better after about halfway, but I just couldn’t rate it any higher. There is very little scene description, the grammar and writing style was mediocre at best and there was very minimal character building. I just couldn’t visualise anything! There was so much potential for this idea and unfortunately the execution just wasn’t there for me.
The love interest also made no sense at all and the overuse of nicknames was also super annoying.
Not a great start to the year!

4.5 stars -- I adore Alex and this book was no exception. The pace and action were perfect and kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved this cool twist on Greek mythology!

Overall a fantastic book. The pace was sometimes a bit too slow but the story itself made you want to read it through. I really like that the romance hasn’t taken over the books plot like some other books tends to do.
