Lore

By: Alexandra Bracken

Narrated by: Fryda Wolff

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.

✨A MUST READ!!!!!!✨

I’ve felt all the emotions from reading this book! And cried about 3 to 4 times! If this ever becomes a movie I really hope they stick directly to the story, it was just sooo beautifully written!!

Great story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio. Even though I am not well versed in Greek mythology know all of the stories in here and how they relate in this book. It was enjoyable to listen and learn these characters discover themselves and growth on their mission and journey. I'd recommend it. Great book!

great listen

What an awesome story, I enjoyed it very much! Would recommend to anyone with an imagination, and a love for history doesn't hurt either.

I was into it until I wasn’t...

Once the love interest spin kind of took off, I lost interest. Everything else about the book was really great but there was not a lot of chemistry between the characters and once it became apparent that the attraction between them was mutual it took over too much of the heroines inner monologue for my taste.

A must read

Fantastic book for people who love mythology, women who kick butt, and a captivating story. Narration was incredible and the story was filled with twists and adventure.

Surprised by how quickly I was drawn in!

I’m a sucker for Greek Mythology retellings, modern spins, etc. this was no exception.

I rated it 5-stars only because half stars aren’t possible but also because it deserved being rounded up versus down. It really was a good book! There were times the flashbacks dragged a bit, I like the background story most of the time but it just happened more often than I thought was necessary.

I’m probably a bit on the older range of YA/NA readers which is why I was worried I wouldn’t like it but in all honesty it wasn’t a huge factor in who the characters were and I loved it more for that.

Interesting plot, the twist definitely surprised me and I would love to return to this story world again in the future if the author makes it a series.

Hard read.

Honestly I’m sure a lot of people will enjoy this book. For me this book was a hard read. The story was nice but keeping up with it was tough. Not awful though.

INCREDIBLE

I couldn’t stop myself from listening. In the car, at work, just cleaning the house, I finished this is three days. So good.

Great story

Great story with a good twist on the original mythology. 8/10 overall rating. My 4 year old is named Athena and was very interested when she would hear her name.

Amazing and fresh!!

What a great book!! Love the fresh take and the strong characters! I can’t wait to listen to it again!
