Hope Forsman did a great job with this debut novel! If you liked Percy Jackson and Greek mythology, you will love the lore of this book. Now, I'm not super well-versed on greek mythology so I sometimes felt like I was probably missing references to legends that others might know well - but I was still able to follow the adventure!

I loved getting to know Cali and her crew - some other favorites throughout the journey included Griffin, James, and Maech! The fighting scenes were really well-written, the villain was intriguing, and I enjoyed the mystery of trying to figure out what made Cali special.

There were a lot of twists and turns on this journey, as well as some really tough betrayals. Hope left us on such an exciting note that makes me feel ready for the next one!

Well done, Hope!
