I am going to do this in a THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY review type.
THE GOOD:
The book was awesome! The cover art is so beautiful, it really draws you in. The story line was so cool and hypnotic in making you stay with it. I really love the way everything worked together to make it. Plus books about Greek mythology are always fun to read.
THE BAD:
It was way too long. Which I know is weird to say about a book that was awesome, but there were points that really could have been cut short. At one point, they are sitting around and talking at the table and I was about bored out of my mind because they just kept saying the same thing over and over and over and over again. Some editing in that department could have been done. Also, MILD SPOILER ALERT!
It took so very long for Cordelia to get her memory back, it was really annoying. I know they need to drag it out and she needs to do it on her own, but because it took so long, it was frustrating and not in a good way. It made the end happen too quickly. Also it was annoying because all Cordelia did was whine about how she wanted her memory back and/or wanted to go back to the future. Makes you want to smack her!
SPOILER OVER
THE UGLY:
UGH! The spelling and grammar was horrible! It really needs a fine tooth comb through to get it better shape. Words were misspelled or misused, punctuation was atrocious, there were a lot of question marks in place of periods, and then at times there were just blanks where words were left out. Please, please, PLEASE! This book is amazing, but send it to an editor and re-release it. You are going to get so many people turned off for little things like that. I
I am super excited for the series to continue, as long as the author gets an editor to help out! 4 1/2 out of 5 stars, and the 1/2 star off is only because of the editing issues!
