The love story felt well developted, the characters new and fresh. I didn't think I'll like reading about the trial (not really my style) but i was dead wrong. Also the preexisting love between the men was so well written.

Quick review so I can get right to the next one 🏃🏼‍♀🏃🏼‍♀🏃🏼‍♀

I love, love, love Helen, Patroclus and Achilles' relationship in this — it's tender, it's years in the making, it's brand new, it's achingly sweet and so fucking hot at times and I devoured all the scenes of them just together.

The plot was interesting enough but I have to say the reactions to who became Ares in the end didn't really make sense for me in the context of the book — it just felt really iffy?? Idk. But let's be real, none of us are here for the plot, okay.

I'm excited to see what's next in the Dark Olympus universe (maybe a bit more plot actually?) and the developments with the 13 are so fun!! I love drama 😈

(Also: have a really toxic and unhealthy crush on Perseus. Send help. Or a book about him)

Def the best dark Olympus book so far. Love how there is a secondary plot building up in the background. It seemed predictable but then I kept getting surprised by how we got to the ending. The bickering between the three of them?? To die for.

I didn’t like this one as much as the other two. Achilles was pretty unbearable and I hated every scene with the ex. Atalanta was cool and I really liked Helen. I also liked how it ended and set something really cool up for the next book.

I just love this series so much. Paris is such an ass, I wanted to punch him in his smug face! But Achilles? Patroclus? Freaking swoon!

Overall really enjoyed this and the set up for future books at the end, loved the story and characters, but the series is starting to feel a bit formulaic to me. Anyways, still want to read the next one!
