There were a lot of things I didn't like about this book (view spoiler)[mostly how Nyx kept ragging on herself, and how Astraia was the 'sweet' twin and ended up coming off like a freaking sociopath (hide spoiler)]. But there are a lot of things I did like, the story was definitely a unique retelling and the characters were real. There weren't any saints nor was there anyone who was wholly good or wholly bad. Nothing was in black and white, the protagonists weren't 'pure' and I doubt that anyone in the whole book was pure. Plus for the umpteenth time I was reminded that the old Greek gods were all kind of @-holes (just saying, poor Pandora).
