DNF at 45%. The rating until this point would be 2☆.

Many action scenes and scene descriptions that evoke little emotion, which is a shame because I was enjoying the MC so far. It's a quest type of book, and I misread the synopsis for something else that would be way more up my alley. Unfortunately, it failed hard to capture my interest. Didn't care for the other characters either.

Netgalley e-arc.

The author clearly is knowledgeable on Greek mythology and is a good writer. But the storytelling isn't good. There are many moments of action taking place that get lost by the overly description and the predominance of "telling" instead of "showing". Also, the characters are uninteresting. I like the MC enough, but he is wrapped on such boring a narrative and surrounded by shallow characters that he lost on me.

I'm going to Part Two now, and I'm losing interest. There's action, but it's hard to care about and also to keep up with it. I do like Ty (MC), but I'm definitely not sold on the insta-love trope being done here

Seems promising!

Don't go into holes in the ground. Lesson learnt. 😱

I am obsessed with Erebus!!

…I’m reading another Greek mythology, that’s what isn’t shocking anymore 🧍🏾
