Wow, I loved this one. It was everything the Greek Mythology loving kid in me has missed. (Also trying out a new review format, so let me know what you guys think!)

Plot: The story was so good! It never dragged, and wasn't predictable. The Greek Mythology was really interesting, and I thought the twist on it was fun and new.

Characters: I LOVED THEM SO MUCH. Miles, the kind optimist (I wanted to be friends with him so bad). Van, the guarded tech master and protector of the group. Castor, the und ...more

As you may know, I have lots of unpopular opinions, probably the more I read the more critical I become when reading a new story. At the end of the day, I hope that if you follow my blog and my reviews, you will at least appreciate my honesty (and consistency). I promise I will soften the tones of this review.

Lore didn’t work. I’ll tell you why.

After finishing this massive book I was completely underwhelmed. I didn’t think about this story anymore and after almost one week, when I decided to si ...more

I loved this book and I couldn’t stop reading. Though the start was a little slow but once it got going it didn’t stop. At first I didn’t think I would like Lore but as the book went on I fell in love with her. She wasn’t like the typical young adult heroine where they are all about them. She listened to her friends and didn’t really do that much stupid stuff. Though I do have to say Miles and Van were my two favorite characters. Alexandra Bracken wrote the perfect blend of the old Greek myth wi ...more
