this book was a gift and while i enjoyed the beginning and end i nearly dnf during the middle part and was struggling to get through chapters without feeling bored. its not bad and i enjoyed the writing style but i don't think i'll be re-reading it or checking out the sequel. also i've seen a lot of people talk about having hera as the narrator and while it caught me of guard i quite enjoyed seeing the story told from a 3rd person view where you don't always know what everyones thinking, plus the added information about certain details other characters wouldn't have known. i liked parts of it and disliked others, maybe its just not my cup of tea. as far as greek myth retellings go it was pretty decent
