I have to start this review/opinion by saying that Olympus: A New Order has been one of the biggest surprises of my reading year so far. From the very first page, I simply couldn’t stop thinking or talking about this book. Every free moment I had, my mind went straight back to its characters, its mysteries, and the conflict that explodes from page one.
What impressed me most is how perfectly balanced this story is. The war between Olympus and the mortal realm felt complicated, layered, and intensely personal. Every chapter carried tension, secrets, betrayal, and revelations that kept pulling me deeper.
Just when I thought I understood a character something shifted and I was back at square one, piecing together their motives and pasts. And somehow, instead of feeling lost, I felt completely captivated.
This book handled multiple timelines and POVs flawlessly. The three main perspectives; Zeus, Joseph, and Katerina were rich, intriguing, and beautifully interconnected. I genuinely felt like I was standing beside them, witnessing everything unfold.
I’m absolutely in love with the writing of this incredibly talented Boricua author. The pacing was tight, the tension addictive, and every twist kept me glued to the page. And the cliffhanger caught me off guard (because I go into books knowing as little as possible), but instead of being upset, I was thrilled. I can't wait for the continuation of this amazing story!

ARC Review
Rating: 4.5⭐️
This story is a captivating blend of mythology, tension, and slow-burning suspense. Isamar Miranda Colón reimagines a world still scarred by a devastating war, where the return of the Paragons threatens to unravel the fragile peace everyone has fought to rebuild. Through vivid world-building and a heroine torn between fate, fear, and fierce determination, the story explores what it truly means to rise from the ruins.
Every chapter peels back a new layer of secrets—divine, human, and everything in between—making it impossible not to keep turning the pages. With powerful themes of resilience, identity, and the weight of destiny, this book delivers an immersive experience that stays with you long after the final twist. A bold, atmospheric, and unforgettable read.
This book truly surprised me and exceeded all of my expectations. Congratulations to the author on this amazing release!

Thank you Isamar Miranda Colón for my advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
When I was approached by the author about this book, I had high expectations right off the bat from reading the synopsis alone. I am a huge fan of greek mythology so a reimagining of Greek myths through a modern lens, with gods, power, and intrigue sounded amazing! I am so glad that’s exactly what I got.
The novel pulls you in from the first page with its well-constructed universe. I couldn't put it down because I desperately needed to know what would happen next and solve the puzzle of what the characters were going through. I do have to say that sometimes I do feel that the world building was so well constructed or present that the author went a little too in depth into the society and its rules, that it could become overwhelming. Sometimes an author on their debut novel will want to suck their audience into the universe they've constructed and fall into the saying instead of showing. Yet I feel that the mix of dystopia and mythology gave the story a fresh and original feel.
The characters are complex, with motivations and flaws that feel real which caused a lot of intrigue in wanting to follow along in their adventures. Many scenes had me questioning their morality: there’s no black and white here, only tough choices, divided loyalties, secrets, betrayals. Everything that I love in a fantasy. Obviously the characters still have a lot of room to grow and I don't expect any less since this is the first book in a trilogy. One thing I wished was done better was the keeping of the tenses in the writing. Sometimes it changed from third to first and it could become confusing. Or assuming we know who the characters are talking to, but with jumping through multiple timelines and POVs (Katerina, Joseph, and Zeus) it had me having to go back to confirm certain details.
Side characters like Jezebelle, Jasmine, Rhia, Nik, Ares, and Eris really added to the story and challenged some of our main characters to continue in their hero journey. There were many many more side characters that added to the story and I felt intrigued by them and how they interacted and added to the plot, but there were so many it was hard to keep up with their names.
The plot moves at a good pace, though like I mentioned before, at times the density of names, services, roles, and world rules can feel a little overwhelming, especially early on. But with some patience, the payoff is worth it. Trust me!
What fascinated me most is that just when you thought you had it all figured out or you were starting to understand a character, something shifted and had you questioning all over again. Keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
But overall, Olympus: A New Order left me wanting more. This story is a thrilling multiple POV adventure, full of mythology, interesting characters, and a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Do I recommend it? Yes, especially if you enjoy fantasy with dystopian notes, reimagined mythology, and morally grey characters with cracks.

Olympus: A New Order completely swept me away. If you love Greek mythology, this book delivers it in a fresh, gripping way. The world-building is rich, intentional, and incredibly thought-out and vivid, like every city, prophecy, and piece of history actually exists. You can tell the author put real intention into crafting this universe.
Told through three POVs you’ll see how Joseph, Zeus, and Katerina each bring such unique perspectives, and watching their paths collide kept me hooked. The aftermath of the Great War and the rise of the Paragons of Light create constant tension, and I loved how mythology isn’t just referenced, but integrated into politics, identity, and fate.
It ends on a cliffhanger that has me desperate for more. When is the next book coming out, because I need answers immediately?
Dark, layered, and beautifully crafted, this is a must-read for fantasy lovers who enjoy complex worlds, morally grey characters, and mythological intrigue. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while.
This book will be released on December 1st 2025. Don’t miss it!

Olympus: A New Order is an epic and dark fantasy that beautifully mixes Greek mythology with a cult-like group.
The story kicks off 28 years after a war between the Gods and the Paragons of Light, which totally shakes up and reshapes the beliefs of the people of Castelencia in the Olympians. In terms of characters: Katerina is one of the most powerful FMC, I’ve ever seen, and watching her struggle with the expectations of her father and also trying to protect her sister is just, amazing. I have a love-hate relationship with Joseph, and I’ll leave it at that… (you just have to read the book to find out why!). On the flip side, we witness Zeus’s internal and external battle as he juggles his roles as a father, an almighty powerful god, and the betrayals that come his way from the people most close to him. We get front row view of the betrayals and declining of this “god”, just to end up as broken as if he were a mortal.
This book has me constantly questioning each character’s motives, towards each other and their intentions. The descriptions are just spot-on, through the story. The ending broke me and blew my mind, and I’m already counting down the days until the second book!
I was so thrilled to be chosen as an ARC reader by the author, and she didn’t disappoint at all.

Este libro me atrapó desde el principio 🏛️⚡ Presenta un mundo intenso, lleno de poder, secretos y decisiones difíciles. A medida que avanzaba, me encontré cuestionando quién realmente merece gobernar y cuál es el precio de desafiar el sistema 🔥.
Los personajes se sienten reales y sus conflictos te hacen conectar con ellos 🤍. Es una lectura que entretiene, pero también te deja pensando incluso después de terminarla.
Ideal si te gustan las historias con mitología, tensión y un toque oscuro 📖✨.

I went in curious… and came out shocked (in the best way). This dark, ambitious epic fantasy by a Puerto Rican author completely surprised me with its depth, grit, and heart.
This isn’t a gentle story—it’s a brutal exploration of power, betrayal, and survival where gods and mortals alike are flawed, dangerous, and unforgettable. Perfect for Adult and New Adult readers ready to dive into morally grey chaos and epic stakes.
✨ I liked it. I were surprised. And I'm proud to celebrate a Puerto Rican voice bringing such bold storytelling.
🙏 Huge thank you to Isamar Miranda for the opportunity to read this ARC. I'm grateful, happy, and thrilled to share our thoughts on such a powerful debut.

Tuve la suerte de leer Olympus: A New Order por adelantado y, de verdad, fue una sorpresa. Iba con mucha intriga y no me decepcionó para nada.
Si les gusta la mitología pero están cansados de las historias “brillantes”, esta es para ustedes. Es una fantasía oscura, intensa, con un mundo destrozado por la guerra que te atrapa desde el inicio. Me encantó que los dioses y mortales no son perfectos; son personajes con muchos grises que tienen que tomar decisiones pesadas.
El world-building me encantó y la protagonista tiene mucha fuerza. Es de esos libros que empiezas y no puedes soltar porque siempre hay un secreto nuevo(de esos que no quieres soltar aunque sea la 1:00 de la mañana 🙄). Ideal si están buscando dar el salto al New Adult o fantasía más madura. ¡Súper recomendado!

✨ ARC Review — Olympus: A New Order ✨
Olympus: A New Order hooked me right away. I loved how creatively the author blended Olympians and mortals; it felt fresh, engaging, and full of tension. The mix of timelines and multiple POVs was honestly one of the best parts—it added so much dimension to the story and made it incredibly easy to get attached to every character.
I’d definitely read the next book. The ending left me wanting more, and now I’m invested in seeing how all these storylines come together.
Favorite quote:
“You can enjoy the small things in life. Sometimes you have to be selfish, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Grateful I got to read this as an ARC. If you enjoy mythology, layered characters, and plots with lots of moving pieces, this one deserves a spot on your TBR.

Ummm… i loved the story!
I just hope book 2 closes some open loopholes.
I was very invested in each POV. Each character had its depth, fears and struggles. Cant wait for book 2
