The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
Unfortunately, this wasn't for me.
Abigail Owen's writing style wasn't to my liking, which is a me issue.
I could have preserved if I felt a connection to Lyra and Hades, but there was no spark to keep me hooked to the characters.
The dialogue and interaction between the two protagonists felt surface level, with no depth to their emotions or interactions. Felt very mid YA to me.
The trials were not at all life or death, there was no danger or stakes of any kind.
Also, for a world built on the capriciou nature of the Greek Parthenon, this book was not at all dark enough to highlight theactual depravity and inhumanity of the Greek Gods.
