Lore: from the Number One bestselling YA fantasy author

Product Information

The characters were a major reason why I loved this book. Castor, Van, Miles, and Lore made a super fun group that was ultimate squad goals. Their blend of personalities made for an awesome team up. Some of the characters don’t appear super likable at first, but as you learn about the characters’ past trauma and how they’ve been coping with that trauma, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the characters. It’s a good thing, then,” Iro said with a small smile, “that neither of us has ever been afraid of a fight.” Every seven years, the Agon begins. To punish them for their past rebellion, Zeus forces nine Greek gods to walk on Earth as mortals while the descendants of ancient bloodlines hunt them, eager to clain their power and immortality as their own. Lore Perseous has long abandoned the Agon after the murder of her family. For years she has pushed away the taught of getting revenge on the god, formely man, who is responsable for their deaths. But as the next hunt begins in New York, Lore is seeked out by two participants: Castor, her childhood friend who she believed dead and a wounded Athena, one of the last original gods still alive. The goddess offers an aliance against their mutual enemy and the hope of leaving the Agon forever, but their power might not be enough to defeat the new god. Verdad que todo suena absolutamente increíble? Creo que van a conocer a pocas personas en su vida que amen tanto la mitología griega y la hayan estudiado tanto como yo, pero algo sucedió con este libro y sencillamente no conecté con la historia ni con la forma en la que estaba narrada. Peor aún, más allá de Castor, ni siquiera me interesaban los personajes. Lore podría haberse muerto en las primeras páginas y a mí me hubiera dado absolutamente igual. Y creo que ese fue mi mayor problema, no puedo disfrutar un libro si no me importan los personajes. Honestamente, creo que lo acabé porque (además de que nunca dejo sin terminar un libro) quería saber cuál era la verdad detrás de todo lo que le había sucedido a Castor y cómo iba a terminar este Agon para él.

This felt like a Superhero story and I was living for it. Towards the end, there are all sorts of surprising twists and reveals. So, so good!overall i felt absolutely nothing for any of these characters and could care less what happened to them. She has successfully kept herself hidden since the last hunt left her entire family dead, including her two little sisters; murdered by a rival clan. Melora, known as Lore, is a member of the line of Perseus. She is no longer participating in the Agon, however, having left that world behind.

Arriving home, she discovers the Greek Goddess, Athena, one of the few remaining original Gods, injured on the front steps of her brownstone, pleading for help! Now the new Agon is approaching in New York after 7 years later. Lora never healed after losing her parents at the previous one so she is adamant to fight against the descendants with all of her power. She cannot deal with more loses in her life.Like I said above, Lore is the last mortal descendent of Perseus but basically has opted out of the fight for various reasons. She doesn’t want power or immortality. Though she does want her family avenged. But the killer is a god and even though Gods are mortal for seven days, he has a powerful bloodline and they protect him as well as hunt the other Gods. Gil – Recently passed away, but the one who became a family with Lore and Miles these last few years.

The romance was really cute. I always like the say that I love enemies to lovers, but honestly childhood friends it lovers can be just as good if done right. I need to read more books with this troupe because I never realised how much I actually like it. We also got queer romance between two side characters which I was here for it, but sadly we didn't get much about it. okay i have no clue how im going to structure this review, so i apologize in advance for any chaos.

It’s okay to want good things […] and to believe that you deserve a good life."Overall, I really liked this unique spin on Greek mythos, and I really enjoyed how this author intertwined this story in a modern day setting. I think it was a solid standalone, and I was very impressed with the characters, so many of the themes, and the central discussions of found family and second chances, and the constant reminder that there is no “right way” to heal from trauma and grief. Also, I will always love a good reclaiming of Medusa and her whole entire monster story. Be still, my Circe loving heart. But I really enjoyed Lore and Castor’s relationship. I loved the Van and Miles and truly were amazing side characters.
