This book is like a mixture of Twilight and The Mortal Instruments' City of Bones. A bit similar to Percy Jackson too, but geared more towards girls. It's my first Greek mythology book and that's already a plus on it's own because I've always had a fascination for it. I did not like the beginning of the book; the dialogue was very questionable. But as the book progressed, it got better. I ended up loving it and fervently wished that the book would not end. Thank goodness that this book is the first of a trilogy. I hope that the quality does not deteriorate in the coming up books. May 2012 can't come soon enough for me.
