God of Fire (Greek Myths: A New Retelling) by Helen Steadman
4.0
I have loved Greek mythology ever since I first watched and read the Percy Jackson series, so I jumped at the chance to be on this blog tour and learn about a God I hadn’t really heard of before! Hephaestus is not a God that is usually focused on in Greek mythology, but his story is one that was so fascinating to explore.
The setting and the characters are so well-developed and integrate so beautifully with the stories we have all heard about the Greek Gods and Goddesses. You can definitely tell that this book has been thoroughly researched! Even if you are not so well-versed with Greek mythology, it is relatively easy to follow along with the different myths and tales that are brought into the story along the way.
I was so engrossed in this book, that each time I had to put it down, I spent too much time thinking about when I could pick it up again! This could easily be a one-sitting book. I desperately need a sequel and the only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 stars is because I found the ending too abrupt- I needed more! It felt like the book had a bit more ending to give.
This book includes all of the Gods you know and live to read about, as well as some familiar DEMI-Gods (Achilles and Patroclus
