Lore



Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, 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 in the wake of her family's sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt's promises of eternal glory. 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 out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods.
The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to bind her fate to Athena's and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost--and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.


Good morning, good afternoon or good night everyone! How is you day going so far? I hope is going amazing! Today, were I live, is such a gloomy day, perfect to cozy up with a book or watch shadow and bone which i stil have to finish. I would like to make a review about it!! Would you guys like that? Anywyas, for todays review we have  "Lore" By Alexandra Bracken it was one of my most anticipated releases of 2021 but unfortunately it did not lived up to my expectations.

You have probably seen the book described as "Percy Jackson meets the Hunger Games" and that is kind of a good way to describe this book. It was precisely how interesting the story line sounded what got me into wanting to read this book, however, the execution of the idea wasn't really of my liking.

It was really fast-paced which is something i tend to love but, it got overwhelming at some point. There was so much going on that i couldn't keep up with the story.

 

It was really Lore-focused which was a great thing since you can get to know the way she is feeling but, because of that, i think there was lacking more character development as well as internal relationships.

 

I did really like the fact that Lore is the figure of feminism in this book, we love a strong independent woman as our main character.

 

I also dot know if it was because i dont really know a lot about Greek mythology (which is weird considering how much i love it and how interesting it is to me, so I am trying to learn and read more about it) but I got extremely lost at times.

 

If you like fast-paced, action full, Greek mythology book you would probably like it and I say probably because I love all of those 3 things combined and, unfortunately this one was not my cup of tea.

So with all being said, i gave it a 

2.5/5⭐️
