Publisher's summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love, and redemption.

Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.

Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man - now a god - responsible for their deaths.

Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded.

The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost - and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.

Fast Paced, but not in depth

I really wanted to get into the book but surprisingly the pace threw me off. Typically I prefer fast pace,but this felt like hopping from fight, to fight, to event, to event. There wasn't enough buildup for me because something was constantly happening, so things felt a bit shallow in terms of character development and plot. That being sad I can see why many readers like, because there are a lot of fun elements. Just not for me.

The narrator was alright. A bit flat at times and fine at others.

Great Story

Amazing detail, very engaging. Narrator did an awesome job with characters. Not a traditional mythology tale. Loved it!

very Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this novel, the twist of mythology and the modern world had very interesting concepts.

I absolutely loved this boom!

I absolutely loved this book, it was a good pace, and the character development was really good.

Great Book

A unique take on mythology. This story was engaging and addictive. Definitely will read again in the future.

Lore

Overall, I enjoyed Lore. There was a lot of action and a bit of romance, but the Greek mythology and characters were the best parts of the story. It was a bit bloodier than I thought it’d be, but that wasn’t a negative for me.

I was happily surprised that this wasn’t going to be a series. The ending felt final but I think if Alexandra Bracken wanted to expand on this world then she could. I’m glad the plot wasn’t dragged out and ended the way it did.

Loved it

It was well written and well read with an actress that did different voices/accents/tones to differentiate the characters.
I LOVED this book, some twists were warmly well received, others were like a shot to the gut. If you like fantasy and Greek mythology this is the book for you. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Great story for All ages!

This was a wonderful book for all ages. Highly recommend for road trips with the family.

Good

Sometimes the constant violence & flippant replies were too much but overall good & narration was very good.

Tatilinzing!!!

Such an amazing storyline! Edge of your seat the entire way! Wonderful ending to an amazing beginning! Loved it!
