Me encantó, la mitología griega en este libro es fascinante, la historia está muy padre y lo disfruté mucho
I'm still thinking about this one. I love mythology, but I haven't really considered it in depth since grade school. The work that went into this novel is impressive, and the spin on the stories was very clever. It's clear the author had a love of the lore and of NYC, and that enthusiasm translates well. That said, I think the ending was flat. By the end, I was angry at a lot of characters and wanted a more satisfying conclusion. I'm not sure what that looks like, but I want more. I'm sure I'd read any sequels or spinoffs, making it worthy of four stars in the end.
The audiobook narrator was great!
Very violent and grapic from the get-go with a bit of brutality in the prose, but it works well from the prologue. Breakneck pace and action in first 30 pages but still somehow develops characters well enough to keep up. Feels like it picks up in the middle of a world already built, but able to pick up references to pieces of a story that hasn't been told yet. Like the duality of ancient Greek Gods in modern NYC, but can get confusing with prose seeming like its set in ancient days but also as it's taking place in the modern world. Oddly, something just didn't seem to grab/click as it went on, which might indicate it was a bit long and overdone at parts. Could also been lacking a little bit of a character to root for or identify or relate to?
