eve_reads 's review for:

Lore by Alexandra Bracken
3.0
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The schematics of the bloodlines, family relations, and transfer of powers was so convoluted to me for such a large portion of the book. The chart provided helped a little bit but not entirely.

⁕ The plot is quest-based and driven more by physical action than character emotion and development. Consequently, the main heroes fell flat. 

⁕ My favorite scene involved one of the Gods talking about her experience as a women and one of the only remaining "old gods." It was a perspective that we don't usually get in modern day retellings of Greek mythology and one of the strongest moments of emotional vulnerability in the book. 

⁕ Yes, there were some plot twists. No, I did not see them coming.
