This book was a nice surprise. I had read mixed reviews, but the fact that this book was about the Greek gods, well I had to give it a chance. I loved how the book started out, and the writing is so detailed. You immediately start out with Athena and Hermes, trekking across a desert while feathers are sprouting out inside Athena's body while Hermes' is slowly being eaten away by his. Ms Blake did an exceptional job of making her characters relatable. I rooted for Athena and her group, especially since Ms. Blake did an awesome job on her villains. Cassandra really wasn't a favorite of mine though. I couldn't make myself like her all that much, but I did love this book and was really pleased by it overall! The mythology was probably what made the book the most memorable for me. Athena's perspective on her family's history was wonderful.
