Like a great Summer blockbuster! Roaring good fun!

If you're a fan of domestic horror, this is a wonderful addition to your wish list. What could possibly go wrong when a lovely housewife and her Engineer husband fulfill their American dream and purchase the last available home in the sparkling gated community. Rivers Solomon doesn't disappoint with this tale.

"Self-serving war pig" is not the correct description. While the character reminds me of so many adversarial warloads, she is entirely her own.
Ambessa is more than a blood-thirsty, meglomaniac. Her ambitious nature is there at the center of things She is also The Chosen undergoing character development as she navigates her family relationships, her vision, tradition, and the violent world of Noxus.

Really enjoyed it! The descriptions were so detailed and specific to the ancient culture. The perspectives of the two generations of the ruling family were seamlessly woven as might be a tapestry.

Excellent. A lot complaining about length but I appreciated it. The characters are so well known but so misunderstood. I really loved Demeter and Core. I appreciated the story for Core. She was certainly more than her abduction. Hades is perfect crafted. I always thought he wasn't as villainous as described.

Mixed feelings. Definitely vibe about the Greek mythos and Death, the reluctant. Romance was 5 out of 10. I feel that was rushed. I think the main conflict should be between the Fates and the gods which I thought was seminal to the myth. I find it missing here. Her main conflict is with her mother and lovers. Life could have had a larger role.
