I really enjoyed this. I'm a sucker for Greek mythology and re-tellings, but I'm surprised at how drawn to the 'starcrossed' romance I was, which is not something I usually find done well, but I liked it.
Definitely recommend it. Can't wait for the next book. ...more

I'm about 7 chapters in, and so far ... the story is silly, the writing is a little bit plodding, but it's got that [supernatural]boy-meets-[supernatural]girl-and-they-can't-resist-each-other hook that *I* can NOT resist!!

In the end, this was ... okay. Hence the two stars. It wasn't an awful mess or anything, and if you're interested, you should read it too. But it didn't really do anything special.

I really enjoyed this book. Mythology based YA fiction is hot right now and some of what it is out there is simply dreadful. However, I found this book to be fairly well researched and well written with good characterization. It of course has the request romance in the story but I felt that it was well handled and not heavy handed like so often is the case. I think I also enjoyed this book because it took place close to home and even mentions the Nantucket Atheneum Library several times.
