Summary
From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious， high-octane tale of power， destiny， love and redemption。
Every seven years， the Agon begins。 As punishment for a past rebellion， nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals， hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines， all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality。
Long ago， Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family's sadistic murder by a rival line， turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory。 For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man--now a god--responsible for their deaths。
Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City， two participants seek out her help: Castor， a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead， and a gravely wounded Athena， among the last of the original gods。
The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and， at last， a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever。 But Lore's decision to bind her fate to Athena's and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost--and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees。

I’ve always been a fan of Alexandra Brackens books and I adore Greek mythology so I was so excited to read this book。 It’s quite an investment of time but I loved reading it！It took me a few chapters to get into the swing of things。 Once you get used to the structure of the story and the set up of the plot， it gets a bit easier to follow from there。 At first， I was a bit confused with who was who， the families and the concept of the Agon， but I stuck with it and as I continued to read I started I’ve always been a fan of Alexandra Brackens books and I adore Greek mythology so I was so excited to read this book。 It’s quite an investment of time but I loved reading it！It took me a few chapters to get into the swing of things。 Once you get used to the structure of the story and the set up of the plot， it gets a bit easier to follow from there。 At first， I was a bit confused with who was who， the families and the concept of the Agon， but I stuck with it and as I continued to read I started to understand it more and more。 I loved the characters in this and I loved the character of Lore。 The whole book was compelling and entertaining， with the odd plot twist to keep you on your toes。 There’s a magical quality about it and I always found I was excited to go back to read this book whenever I was dragged away from reading。 I’m so glad I picked this one up and gave it a read。 。。。more

I enjoyed the overall plot of this book， and the Greek mythology as always。 However at times it felt maybe a bit too repetitive and confusing with the house names and the gods associated with them and the mortal names and we god names and everything。 Still enjoyed the book but think it could’ve been made less complicated at times or explained better sometimes。 Overall I’d give it like a 3。5 stars

A little more than 1/4 of the way though， and I'm going to have to put this to the side。 It's just BAD。 The plot is convoluted and the characters are paper thin and brainless。 It feels like someone who got a C+ in Greek Mythology 101 tried to write a bad Hunger Games type fanfiction。 A little more than 1/4 of the way though， and I'm going to have to put this to the side。 It's just BAD。 The plot is convoluted and the characters are paper thin and brainless。 It feels like someone who got a C+ in Greek Mythology 101 tried to write a bad Hunger Games type fanfiction。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this book！ It was a great mix between mythology， suspense， and action！ It kept me guessing until the last page！ Definitely recommend

Recently described to me as Percy Jackson and Hunger Games combined。 Yep。 That about sums it up。Teacher notes:No sex。 No cussing。 Violence is appropriate for the plot。

3 ⭐An action-packed and entertaining read。 Not knowing a lot about Greek mythology made the number of characters， Gods， and houses difficult to follow at times。 I could tell the author tried to overcome this with a lot of explanations between characters， but it just ended up being large sections of info-dumping。 It was still a fun read， but not as good as I had hoped。

4。5 stars。 I almost didn’t even finish。 I read the first 2 chapters and got bored back in February and I picked it back up again this month and did not regret it。 The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars is due to some confusion with names switching around for the same character and some confusion with the writing style sometimes。 But overall the plot and characters were beautiful and I miss the characters already

Three stars is really generous considering how lame this book was… the way it was written was over ambitious and very rushed。 It felt like I was reading the skeleton of a book where all the ideas were thrown together and no actual content was presented。 Sure， I like a strong female lead and I love Greek gods。 The concept that I got from the initial summary made it seem interesting， but the delivery of the storyline was very poor in my opinion。 I probably would have recommended the book if there Three stars is really generous considering how lame this book was… the way it was written was over ambitious and very rushed。 It felt like I was reading the skeleton of a book where all the ideas were thrown together and no actual content was presented。 Sure， I like a strong female lead and I love Greek gods。 The concept that I got from the initial summary made it seem interesting， but the delivery of the storyline was very poor in my opinion。 I probably would have recommended the book if there was a series instead of many ideas stuffed into one storyline。 。。。more

The plot twists， the betrayals！ This book was brilliant although confusing at times。 I loved all the Greek myths it contained and all the plotting， strategising and romance。 The ending leaves a few loose ends but it was still a wonderful ending。

Think a little bit of Hunger Games vibes with the Greek Gods and you have this book。 Great characters and something I quite happily could've read into a second book and beyond。 Think a little bit of Hunger Games vibes with the Greek Gods and you have this book。 Great characters and something I quite happily could've read into a second book and beyond。 。。。more

I really liked the characters in this story alot of action and fast paced。 What I enjoyed most that this was a standalone novel and I was invested in the plot and the journey of the characters。
