I am only familiar with Greek and Roman pantheons through the little I learned in Junior High School, so while I found many of the references obvious, some of them were a surprise. While reading, I fact-checked with my husband (who loves Greek and Roman mythology). He was impressed with the little-known things the author decided to slip in. Of course, the author takes a few creative liberties here and there, but all-in-all the mythology presented is fairly accurate.
With that said, I would like to say that I loved the writing in this book. It is engaging and consistent. The characters are fairly well-rounded and relatable. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
