Titans by Victoria Scott
3.0
Extremely predictable, but a unique idea that was executed in a classic way.
I felt a strong need to come back and edit this after seeing a number of reviews bashing this book and saying Scott ripped off Maggie Stiefvater's The Scorpio Races...Maybe some of the overarching ideas are similar, but it's a pretty far stretch to say Scott plagiarized from Stiefvater. The Scorpio Races was a wonderfully moving book and had more depth than this one did, but it rested on old mythological ideas, so if you want to nit pick then Stiefvater is ripping off Celtic mythology. This doesn't make Titans any less of a good book, just a little different.
