Decadent cyberpunk cities. Giant mechs and monsters. Greek mythology retold like no other.Before the rampage of the colossi, before the killer cyborg Persephone was made... there was the rule of the Titans.
Under the iron fists of the Twelve Titans, Elysium glitters, casting its cruel light upon the face of Olympus. The city grows in leaps and bounds, the terraforming projects expand by the day, and the Titan's children—organic and otherwise—are each tasked with conquering the planet in the Titans' name. But unbeknownst to them, their children chafe under their tyranny, and little by little the flickers of revolt ignite...
Memory of Olympus is a collection of short stories taking place during the Titans' rule and after the Titanomachy, where the gods find themselves, establish themselves—and go to war against their makers. This also includes a preview of the next Gunmetal Olympus book, The Persephone Effect.
Maria Ying is both a fictional character and the joint pseudonym of Devi Lacroix and Benjanun Sriduangkaew, who have challenged themselves to write fiction with no speculative elements for once.
Ughhhhhh this was so good. If you liked the first book, I promise you'll love this. Can't believe I am caught up on all the Maria Ying books. I am lost until the Persephone Effect
Zeus spends her entire life longing to be merged with her sister Hades as one being, as she perceives they were in the womb. This leads to problematic interactions (to say the least). Though it is clear she loves her sister, part of me wonders, did Hades purposefully keep distance between them because she knew of this longing? Edit: I will be reading Callisto Khan’s companion novel to prepare myself for them joining Maria Ying to write The Persephone Effect. And i thoroughly enjoyed the sneak peek chapter of the same!!!
