THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLER "Epic from start to finish." --Marie Lu, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Warcross "A brilliant and breathless twist on classic mythology " --Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lunar Chronicles Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are 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, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. 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 her out: Castor, a childhood friend and first love Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost--and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees. 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.

Overhyped
Published by Angela , 1 year ago
The cover caught my attention first, then the storyline and the fact it was mythology-inspired. However, the execution of this book was awful. Ironically, where we need more detail to better understand the world the characters are in, the author goes into too much detail about trivial things we do not need to know nor care about. The story had potential, but unfortunately was written poorly

The Cover Of This Book Is What Interest Me Then I Read The Synopsis. The Book Was Confusing At Times Due To So Much Information Packed In. The Writing Was Great But It Still Made The Storyline Hard To Follow.
Loved this book
Published by Caitlin , 3 years ago
I literally loved the plot, the characters, even the ending. My only complaint is that it is supposed to be a stand alone book not a trilogy. Couldn't get enough of Lore!
Loved the mythology
Published by Khalessi , 3 years ago
For the most part, I enjoyed this book. The research and the mythology incorporated was beautiful. And I liked the characters for the most part, especially Lore and Miles. Loved both of their personalities. As well as how Miles never left Lore's side. He was completely loyal and a total bad ass. There were some great aspects of the book. The writing for the first 70% just bored me. It was interesting enough to keep going but I just was left waiting for something to happen. The back and forth between Lores past and present felt extremely unnecessary. Even if it did sort of tie in towards the end, it could have been left out and it would have been fine. The ending left me a little like ok...There should have been something more. I was ok with Lore and Castor releasing their powers but ending it there just felt a little lack luster. I also had a lot more questions that were just left hanging. Overall, a good read and enjoyable for the most part.
