Very satisfying with a strong and smart, but vulnerable FMC who wants to be appreciated for more than her looks and be more than a trophy. The mcs are magnificent but flawed and the narration is en point. The only reason it's not 5 stars for me is because I need more at the end like an epilogue because I'm a junkie and need a gradual cut off. ( )

The fact that we’re now getting a “bigger things are happening in Olympus” plot is majorly exciting; I feel like it opens up this world in such a promising way. And the ending is exactly what I was hoping would happen! Honestly I would have been thoroughly peeved if the winner outcome wasn't what it was- but Roberts did NOT let us down.
This one is probably my least favorite in the series so far though just because 1) I found Achilles downright insufferable, and 2) I wish the tournaments were a little less predictable. But still all-around another entertaining installment in the series, and I’m definitely eager for the next one. ( )

This took me a bit longer to finish then Neon Gods. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't excellent either. . .

I still like the concept about the world, normality with politics and name of Gods. There is minor plots in the books, so waiting for the big build up to the much larger plot.

The spice was good.

Achillies - brawn with some brains. He was an okay character.
Patroclus - The brains with brawn and in the shadow type of character.
Helen - Bratty but head strong.

Overall this was a okay read, and will still keep reading thw series. ( )
