I very much enjoyed this book, it had a great premise and was well written. Although it seemed strange at first, I enjoyed the short chapter style.
I was left a little unsatisfied that at the end we were in the same situation as the start, this was the only reason I dropped a star

This book had amazing world building but the plot just wasn't there at all for me.

I love this series so much! This was a great book and a great ending to this part of the story. I only didn't give it a 5 star rating as I slightly preferred ACOMAF and wanted my rating to reflect that.

I enjoyed this book a lot, it made me feel hate and love for different characters and kept me interested enough to read it in one sitting

I liked the first book in this series, enough to give this one a go. I'm so glad I did, honestly I was blown away by this book and loved it so much. I can't wait to read the next one!

I learned so much from this book, my favourite chapter being the one focusing on Medusa. I would highly recommend this book, especially for those newish to Greek mythology like myself or for anyone who hasn't looked at these stories from a female perspective!

I enjoyed ACOTAR, I liked the world building and characters. However, my biggest reason for removing a star was that the pacing was weird, a lot of the plot happens in the last third of book.

This was definitely an interesting read, I enjoyed the writing which made the characters feel more real. I dropped it to 3.5 stars as I wasn't as invested in the characters as I was when reading Normal People and also the ending was less satisfying. Still love Salley Rooneys writing though and will read more form her in the future!
