Thoughts:
I found this book to be
highly entertaining and interesting. There was plenty going on in the mythology
world and I loved seeing all the new and old characters interacting. This was a
very creative and intriguing story and I found myself wrapped up in Chloe’s
adventures once again. I loved the fact that the pages seemed to fly by and I didn’t
even notice at times how quickly I was reading the story. This was definitely a
fun and quick read and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Plot:
Finally! Yes we are finally privileged
to learn what Strafford’s big secret is and wow it’s both intriguing and moving
at the same time. I won’t say exactly what it is (that would spoil it, duh!)
but I will say that I very much understand why he’s kept it to himself. On
other news the plot was filled with tons of sub-plots, there was always
something going on, if it wasn’t the gang’s conflicts it’s Chloe’s brothers
conflicts or the Gods conflicts. You’re not left with no action in this book,
it’s full of twist and turns, betrayals and reunions. This is a highly fast
paced book and left little room for slower moments. There’s a lot that we as
the reader learn about this world and the characters in it. So much happens, so
many decisions are made, it all adds up to an awesome second book. The ending
was good, left the reader with a small cliffhanger but nothing to bite your
nails over. I kind of thought the author did very well on the ending, leaving
the perfect opening for book 3. So overall I enjoyed the plot and thought it
was full of surprises and twists.
Romance:
The romance is about the
same as in the first book, it’s sweet but not too lovey dovey. As for the
conflict in the romance area there wasn’t really any, it seemed like the story
was more focused on the actual plot than the romance. So overall this was good
aspect to the story.
Characters:
Loved to meet the new and
old characters again, I was once again reunited with some of my favorite
characters and risked back into their world. And I loved the new characters as
well, we were able to really get to know all of them and begin to understand
why they act the way they do. I didn’t find it hard to once again connect with
Chloe or Strafford and actually found their POV’s intriguing and fun to read
about. I think we really learned more about these two characters more than
anything else. So overall I enjoyed the characters in this book.
Transformation
of the Character:
There was definitely more
transforming that occurred in this book. We start to learn why the characters
are they way they are and learn how their growing from their mistakes and
trying to become a better them. There weren’t any specific transformations that
stood out to me but the overall feeling was good.
Description:
There was plenty of
description in this book, the author painted a very clear picture of each
scene. It was more like watching the show than reading it, the attention to
detail was very fine and precise and I found I enjoyed the fighting scenes the
best. Writing a fight scene is very hard, trust me I’ve tried it, there’s just
so much action that it’s hard to put down onto paper exactly all that is
happening but this author seemed to be able to hone this skill and zero in on
exactly the important parts in each high action scene. So overall I enjoyed the
description in the story and didn’t think there was too much or too little.
Style:
This was written in multiple
POV’s and in first person. This allowed the reader to get a good perspective on
all that is happening and help move this story along. I think this was
necessary in the fact that how this story is laid out, multiple POV’s are
almost required. And the writing itself was good, I only found a few grammer
errors but other than that enjoyed the story itself and al that it had to
offer. So overall this was a good aspect to the story.
Quote
of the Book:
“The world swirled around
her like Apollo had struck a chord on his lyre, transporting her straight to
hell…she couldn’t breathe right. This could not be real. She was dreaming,
because what Strafford had shown her just couldn’t be her reality.”
Goodreads
Summary:
It’s official. Myth is
doomed.
And it’s all Chloe Clever’s
fault.
Still as whacked out as
ever, Chloe is now faced with an even uglier truth: Not only is she the Pythia
of the Great Unknown, but she is more powerful than she ever imagined and only
the manifestations of her prophetic mind can save them all now.
With her Prince boyfriend,
Strafford, and the Quad Fraternity always armed and ready to annihilate the
opposition, she will embark on a mission to stop a great power that could
consume every god in Myth...and everyone else she’s come to love.
But the worst is still to
come.
Dark, painful secrets are
revealed, threatening to tear Strafford from her arms, and just when she thinks
the future could not look more grim, she is betrayed in the worst way.
With the heavens crumbling
down around her, she must hurry to find a way to set things right. But will she
be in time to save the one she loves most in the world from a fate that may be
more dangerous than her own?
Last
Thoughts:
I would recommend this book
to fans of the first book in this series and to anyone who is into Greek
mythology. This was a very exciting and fast paced book and can’t wait to learn
more about this world and it’s characters in the book to come. So overall I found
this read enjoyable and fast.
