About this listen
From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of THE DARKEST MINDS comes a high-octane story of power, destiny and redemption. A lifetime ago, Lore Perseous left behind the brutal, opulent world of the Agon families - ancient Greek bloodlines that participate in a merciless game every seven years. A game that is about to begin again ...
For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods with a game called the Agon, which turns them mortal for one week, and at the mercy of being hunted by those with godly ambitions. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended.
After her family's sadistic murder by a rival bloodline, Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one thing - surviving. For seven years, she has pushed back dark thoughts of revenge against the man responsible for their murder, a man by the name of Wrath who has attained unimaginable power. Except for one week, every seven years. A week that is fast approaching ...
When Lore comes home on the first night of the Agon to find Athena gravely wounded on her doorstep, the goddess offers her an alliance; they have a mutual enemy, after all. But as the world trembles under the force of Wrath - a god with the power to destroy all of humanity - will Lore's decision to bind her fate with Athena's come back to haunt her?

Character live
Well I loved the characters and became totally invested in their journeys. It only took a while to work out who all the Gods were. Maybe I should have done some prior reading before listening!!

Started great, the was a let down
I was really loving this book right up till the two third’s point where something was revealed and everything because very two dimensional. It was really disappointing. The climax also felt very cringey - people stood around and did dialogue where realistically they would not have, while some characters just didn’t do anything for bits when they really should have taken action instead of waiting for their turn to speak.
I was really loving this book until I wasn’t, which was a shame. I would probably read it again, but don’t know if I would do so more than once (I want to give it the benefit of a physical book read as I do better with that medium). I would recommend, but caution to expect the second half of the book in particular to feel rough around the edges and a bit messy.

Overly complicated
I really wanted to like this book as I’m a huge mythology nerd. But the author doesn’t do a good job of initially explaining the central concept (the Avon) which makes it hard to understand all of the other plot points that depend on it.
In the end I really couldn’t get into it as it ended up feeling more about contemporary characters and their relationships than anything to do with mythological characters.

Lore
God's, Goddesses and warriors
This book has it all, power, mayhem and a whole lot of sarcasm.
From start to finish you will be enchanted and compelled to keep reading, fast paced and witty humor you will love every second.

Okay
I really like Greek mythology and the story had an interesting take on the gods, with them becoming mortal for a day and allowing humans the chance to take their powers. The story, however, was very slow and left me with a lot more questions than answers--still very confused about a lot of the ending.

interesting fantasy world
loved the narration it kept me going when parts of the story felt clunky.
loved the general concepts of the story though I was frustrated with how forced some of the storylines were.
would have loved more of Tidemaker than we got.

Hard start
Found it difficult to get into at the start. I felt that it was hard to understand what was happening and to follow along. I stuck at it and it wasn't a bad story in the end.

Absolutely worth it.
Absolutely worth your time, money and brain space. The narrators voice is AMAZING, so unique and I definitely felt drawn in.
This gave me a mix of Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner.

back and forth
Its not that I hate flashbacks, they are a good way to engage the readers and build depth to a character- however it was really over done in this book. it seemed like it was constantly back and forth, which made me lose interest. the performance of the audio book was great however, her voice was very calming, but portrayed the characters emotions well.
