So, I needed a standalone fantasy, and this was my first time reading a book inspired by Greek mythology. It was a bit confusing at first, but I ended up really liking it. You know how Greek Gods are always portrayed as violent beings? This story definitely shows that. The idea of Agon was really interesting, and it kept me wanting to read more. The pacing was good, and I never felt like anything was missing.

I loved Lore. She's fierce, damaged, and has a kind soul. I wish Castor had his own point of view, though, because there was so much to his story. But all the characters were really well-developed and complex.

Here are my reasons why you should read this:

♡ You like unique take on Greek mythology.
♡ You like deadly competitions.
♡ You like adventure.
♡ You like found family.
♡ You like second chances.
