Though the addition of Greek/Roman mythology was a really interesting and unique choice, this book really didn't do it for me. I couldn't get invested in or attached to anyone. There was a lot of exposition, which slowed down the novel and made it even harder for me to get into it. It seemed like the author tried to pack too many concepts into a book that wasn't quite big enough to hold them. Overall, it was only okay. My edition came with a preview to the sequel, which did catch my attention, so I will potentially be reading more of this series.
