I fell in love with this book, and each page just got better and better! I love how the author told us back stories for each new character without it turning boring or into rambling. 
I read the synopsis when I first put it on my TBR, but other than knowing it was a Greek god retelling, I went in pretty blind. My heart was pulled in two different directions with Epiales, the storyteller, and Lord Hermes at first. I honestly didn't know who to root for!
Even at the end, I'm still hoping Epiales redeems himself. Everything that he went through because he loved his nephew reminds me of everything that Saffron is doing to give her loved ones freedom. Its such a grey area that I'm holding out hope he goes against Kronos.


I already want to reread Ichor. I'm so obsessed with the world and the characters Trish created💕
