Mythology was an interesting read. It has all these layers. And each layer just gets better and better. The story kind of just evolves and grows until it takes on a life of its own. It's been a while since I have read a book over 400 pages, and I loved the length of Mythology. It felt like there was actual meat to the story. I like short books because I can read them quickly- it's like instant gratification, but I really love longer books that I get to savor and enjoy like this one too.

Hope and Micah are the main players in this story. Then there are a few minor characters thrown in like Johnathan (who I totally loved!). I really liked Hope. But honestly, she has an awful gift. It is so much of a burden for her. She can see people's darkest moments and I can't imagine that would be easy for anyone to carry around with them. But she handles it all really well. I am really impressed with the strength that she shows in Mythology. She is a tough little cookie, and oh so loyal to the people that she cares about. I liked that about her.

Micah is the type of guy that I can see being swoon worthy for almost everyone that reads this book. He is hot, and nice and good to Hope, but there is just something about him. I liked him, I just wasn't jumping up and down with giddiness at the thought of him. I can't even really tell what was slightly offputting for me. I think it was that I always thought he was hiding something. (and yes, I know that he was in fact hiding something, but it just seemed like more than that to me.) I didn't know if I could fully trust him, but I think that was just my hang up. I do think Micah is a great guy and a really cool character that goes through a lot of great growth in the story. I think a ton of people will love him, something didn't just fully click for me. I liked him but I can't throw the big L word around just yet. Johnathan on the other hand just seemed so adorable to me. I can't wait to see more of him (hopefully) in the next book!

Mythology has a lot going on. There are guardians and demons and gods and tons of conflict. I liked how everything was described. Helen Boswell's writing is great. This is not a typical mythology book, it is more of an angels and demons kind of story. I had lots of questions while I was reading and some of them got answered but I am looking for even more answers in the next book. And you better believe I will be reading the next book! I can't wait.
