A dark, grim re-imagining of Greek mythology which explored the brutal side of both the godly, immortal figures and the plain old humans with their burning ambition. The plot was intriguing; watching the characters unravel thread after thread and often ending up with more questions than answers. The full cast of characters were well-developed, though frustratingly bad decision makers (someone had to advance the plot, l suppose). The ending felt slightly rushed,

and a bit jarringly sunshine-and-rainbows compared to the previous fifty-odd chapters

the pacing in this story was not very good. extremely (excruciatingly) slow for the first half and very choppy in the second half. also the timeline of the flashbacks and backstory was pretty confusing. i had to rely heavily on the blurb to understand the concept as it was never clearly explained in the text. the romance was cute but kinda felt like an afterthought. the plot twists weren't very effective because i didn’t know what was going on in the first place. the story definitely improved in the second half and the characters were compelling enough for me to keep reading! all in all, great concept but execution could've been better.
