The musical was better in my opinion. I did watch the musical before though. 

The character were shallow and self obsessed (but they're teenagers so idk) and were the same from start to end. Jeremy didn't truly learn anything. In the musical the characters were much more relatable and lovable. The musical isn't my favorite by all means but its far better than this. 

But I will say, the book is very funny and I laughed a lot. Though some of the jokes are pretty outdated, it's still funny overall. And they're were a few very relatable moments in my opinion.  Also I know it's an older book and it's supposed to be over the top statire but the way they treated the girls was gross. 

It's could've been way better but it's not the worst thing ever. It was very quick and funny. The ending was terrible.

I liked how realistic the main character was
Didn't like the darkling
The beginning - middle was a bit too slow for me 
But I think overall I liked it 

I really didn't like this book. Which is sad because I really wanted to. 

The modern language kept taking me out. "There you go being all badass again, I have to say I find it sexy"... No one in ancient greece was saying that.

The plot twist at the end
Artemis being a deity
was very practicable and I just didn't care that much. 

I didn't really like or feel connected to any of the characters. Besides Artemis because she was the only one with any sense.

The romance wasnt that good either. It was marketed as an "enemies to lovers" but they really weren't enemies. They just didn't like each other. And for no real reason either. They found each other annoying and both just assumed that the other was a spoiled brat with no care for anyone else. And then when they realized they actually had empathy they couldn't keep their hands to themselves. I appreciated that the "spice" was very very minimal and mostly fade to black. 

Also was epiphany real all that necessary? I didn't feel like she added anything to the plot and her chapters were so boring. She was just constantly whining about not being able to do what she wanted to do but as Artemis said, she was literally a princess... Her brother AND father clearly agreed that the women deserved to make choices for themselves and if she had just sat down and talked to them about it the whole problem wouldve been resolved. 

And I really didn't care for her romance with the stable boy :/ her and artemis had way more chemistry and I get wanting to have aroace representation which I very much appreciate but aroace people can still be in love. Maybe I just have a basis because I didn't like Val all that much. 

Also Temi? Pip? Cyn?? Val?? Em?? Not everyone needs a nickname and this book clearly didn't realize that. 

The writing wasn't great. It was very Wattpad in my opinion. 

The plot was okay sometimes. But why in the world are they teaming up with Zeus to take down Zeus????

I really wanted to like this, the plot was adorable and I loved iohmar and lots <33 I think it was just too high fantasy and very flowery in the language for me personally. Still very cute and I cried a little bit at the end.
