I LOVE Greek mythology, and I had high hopes for this book because of that love, so I really wanted to like this book...but I just couldn't. Don't get me wrong! I didn't hate it either! It was just one of those in-between books.The plot seemed interesting enough, but it was not at all what I expected. And sometimes that's not necessarily a good thing. The book had incredible descriptions though!I liked that there was action from the start. But the way the story started, I felt like we were thrust in to the middle of it. The beginning just happened much too fast, and had me a bit disoriented.Another thing was that I couldn't really connect with Cora. She felt...distant...a bit emotionless, if you ask me.But one thing I did like was the authors interpretation of the Underworld. I thought it was very interesting and creative!Overall, it was an okay read, but left me with more questions than anything else.
