This book was not what I was expecting, but I love the dark portrayal of the Greek pantheon. The book puts it's own spin on characters from mythology and although there were familiar faces, they were different from other Greek myth based books. The magic system is very intriguing, and I'd love to learn more about it in the next books. 

I think the main reason why I'm not giving this five stars is that the first 40-45% of the book was very good at foreshadowing and dropping bits of information that had me unable to put it down to figure out what happened next. I was invested in Danae's relationship with her sister and devastated at her need to flee her home. The more I read, the more I felt like Danae was just kind of there as stuff happened. I didn't feel as connected to her in the last half of the book, and it felt like events just continued to happen. 

That being said, I do love the premise of the book, and it shows a lot of potential for the series. I will definitely be reading the next books.

Thank you Netgalley and Harper Collins for the ARC!
