I must say that it felt nice to read something about Greek mythology again. When I was younger I was fascinated by it, and sadly since I began reading in the YA genre a few years ago, I haven’t read as much as I would have liked to.

At first it was a little hard to grasp that Elyse, the main character, was actually a LOT older than she acted and looked. But after I started getting into it, I began to like her character more and more! Speaking of characters, how could I go without mentioning William?! I liked him from the beginning. One thing that I would criticize is that Elyse and William’s relationship seemed kind of rushed. But other than that I love Elyse and William together! Also, their friends added a more realistic feeling to the whole book. Anna, Elyse’s first real friend, was one of my favorite characters in the book. Even though she was actually younger than Elyse, but looked older, it seemed like when the two of them were together Anna acted like 18 years old again. I liked that the main character had a friend that she went to other than someone that was involved in the main story (even though she gets involved towards the end).

I really liked the concept of the story, with the bad Descendants and good Descendants. Overall, it was a really quick and fun read. For all of you fantasy lovers out there, I would check this one out!
