If there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I absolutely adore Greek Myths, especially about the Olympian Gods. You might have noticed I actually use the term 'omigods' instead of 'oh my god' because of them. So if you need to know something about the Greek Gods, come to me! I'm like a walking Greek God encyclopedia.
But that's besides the point. I'm here to write a review about this amazing book by Kendare Blake! (I know I haven't posted in a while, I'm really sorry! I'm back now though, and boy do we have some stuff in store for you!)
He was Apollo, the sun, and he'd burn down anything
that tried to hurt her...
Cassandra lives the life of an average teenager, blissfully
unaware of the fact that she's a weapon in a deadly war with
the Gods. She doesn't even know Gods exist.
Until Now.
The Gods are dying, and with them running out of time
to save themselves, they are desperately clutching at straws
to find the answer to their survival. A survival which depends
entirely on Cassandra.
Even Aidan, her boyfriend, isn't what he seems. And he will do
anything to protect the girl he loves from the danger that is so
eagerly awaiting her. Even if that means going to war against
his immortal family...
This book was just...ahh. It was so good! I can't explain to you how ecstatic I was when I came across it when Beth and I went shopping (we actually went in search for The Duff,which Beth so kindly brought for me the other day! Thank-you again Beth!) and instantly, I was just like 'this is my book, I need it'. I think I may have gotten a little too excited, actually, but oh well!
I loved this book, and am in desperate need of the remaining two books in the series! I would definitely say you should check this book out, even if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea! Kendare Blake's writing will not let you down, trust me.
Now, if you like Greek myths like me, you should check out these books too:
- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (honestly, this dude is awesome. You can thank him for my love of everything Greek). This is the first book in the PJO series and let me just tell you, all of the books are equally amazing. You should go check them out!
- Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini. To say I loved this book, or rather, the trilogy, would be an understatement. The books are incredible, honestly. I can't tell you the number of times I have read these books. These are marked as must-reads by me!
- The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. You CAN'T read this series until you've read the PJO series by him, otherwise everything will be ruined. I'm still reading this series, HOO, and I love it, but don't read it until you've finished the Percy Jackson series!
- And last, but not least, Antigoddess by Kendare Blake. I've already told you why this book is awesome, so I'm not going to say it again!
Go and read! I'll be posting another review tomorrow on....dun dun dunnnnnn.....THE DUFF!
Thanks!

Happy Reading!❤
