Reviews
I kind of want a sequel. Greedy, I know.
Characters:3 1/2 stars
Style: 3 stars
Pace: 3 stars
About what I expected based on the others of her books- Plots that follow coincidence and perfectly timed "Oh I just happened to be passing by", along with a great deal of main character quips.
The way the gods and goddesses were handled was slightly offensive. First of all, this idea that nobody worships the old gods needs to stop. Many, many, people still do. And I feel as if the entire book was mocking them, making them seem like a joke. Isadora's family aside, I also disliked her friends. Tyler and her boyfriend annoyed me immensely, they seemed so forced and fake. And don't even get me started on Ry. I literally rolled my eyes the moment he was introduced. His entire personality and everything he did made me cringe. An unbelievably handsome, anti-social, greek poet that comes off as creepy at times. So ridiculous, I can see right through every character. They were so transparent.
I honestly don't know what it was that made me want to keep reading. Sometimes I'd sit down to read it and then when I felt like I had enough I had read a huge chunk out of it. It's definitely a fast read if you can get past all of the negatives. At this point, I can't remember any positives though. I am giving it two out of five stars because I did, somehow, finish it. So I guess it wasn't completely unbearable. I don't really recommend it to anyone, probably the best thing about it is that it's a stand alone novel, not part of a trilogy. That way, I don't feel obligated to read anymore of this story.
