One of the best books I have ever read, it almost ruined all other books for me.

It was such a good book. I had a few minor problems with it but that was mainly just the formatting and the very few spelling errors that were made, but over all it was amazing and I was sobbing by the end of it. Charlotte really did a great job here.

i'm not really sure what to say about this book, it took me a really long time to find how and where to get it, but i was able to buy it eventually. the story is fine, but i feel like most of the development between the characters is lost in the moments we don't get to see. apollo is one of my favorite characters and i enjoyed his portrayal in this book, even though i'm not the biggest fan of his "fears" in the more modern times. the book had quite a lot of errors, including misspellings, switched names, and a couple of words that shouldn't've been there, and there were a few repetitions of phrases that could've been written differently.
all in all, this was fine, i enjoyed it and it was a nice read nonetheless!

in the best way, this book felt like reading a fanfiction late at night when everyone else in the house is fast asleep.
it was cute, lovey-dovey, and filled with Greek Mythology characters. it's a quick read to get out of a reading slump.
in the future, I would love to see "Icarus Falls" pushed through an editor and republished.
