After picking this book up, I heard a few bad reviews about it - saying the characters were cliché and the writing cringy, but I'm glad I listened to the good reviews instead. This book was absolutely fantastic; it was not too dark for my taste which made it a nice easy read, and the writing and characters were much better than made out to be in some reviews. I did not want to put this book down until I finished it and I can't wait for the rest of the series. 

Pros: I particularly loved Hermes and her interactions with the characters around her. 

Cons: Zeus's death scene was a bit anticlimactic, which, if this was an action novel, knock down the rating a bit, but it's a romance, so the rating stays at five.
