This was somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars for me. There were definitely elements I liked. I thought the world was interesting, and I enjoy mythology, so I liked those elements and I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out with the gods of various mythologies. 
 My favorite thing about Mead's book is usually her characters, but I had trouble really connecting with Mae and Justin. I didn't dislike them, exactly, but I didn't love them like I usually love her characters. I think the main issues with the book (for me at least) are that it was a little bit too long and there's a bit too much going on.
