This wasn't a bad book but Joy had this quirky personality that I wasn't a fan of. She didn't do too much but some things were a little cringey. Plotwise, I wasn't a fan of why both Fox and Joy wanted to "fake" that they were getting along quickly to make Summer and Malcolm jealous I guess. Moreso Joy's reason because I didn't like the dynamics between her and Malcolm and I wanted her to move on. It did get better towards the end and I enjoyed Joy and Fox and seeing them get to know each other. ...more
* rating - 4.5 stars * After coming off the high of the 1st book I thought this one was good but it didn't make me feel the same as the first. It had a* rating - 4.5 stars * After coming off the high of the 1st book I thought this one was good but it didn't make me feel the same as the first. It had action but the plot twist imo was so big in book 1 that I wanted another in this one. My 3 biggest dislikes...
the Greek mythology... It didn't throw me completely off because we see a little bit of it in book 1 but it's at the forefront of this one. As much as I've read books with Greek mythology it doesn't get any easier digesting the info. It's just not something that clicks in my head.
Marie... Honestly, she was my least favorite character. She had some of my least favorite dialogue while also trying too hard to be tough.
the relationship between Marie and Briseis... Marie is introduced so late in the 1st book that I was looking forward to her and Briseis building more a friendship in the second book and then getting together. But they get together instantly that it just threw me. I wasn't convinced that they belonged together. ...more

I think I'm done with retellings for now. I can't tell you how many greek mythology retellings I've read and I still don't know who everyone is lmao. I think I'm done with retellings for now. I can't tell you how many greek mythology retellings I've read and I still don't know who everyone is lmao. Usually in retellings they'll tell you how everyone is connected but I felt like in this one if you didn't know then you just didn't. That's totally a me thing because for some reason that kind of info just doesn't stick with me. The romance was cute and loved the trans representation but wasn't invested in the plot. ...more
