This book was requested when I was young and requested more books than I could possibly read. Sadly, I no longer have access to this book and my tastes have changed. Thus I will not be able to give feedback on this title.

I got accepted to review this book years ago, but unfortunately never got around to reading it. Apologies for this.

This was one of those books where I loved the summary and really wanted to also love the book. Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike the book. It just wasn't quite what I was expecting, and there were a few things that bothered me about it.

I love the whole Greek god thing, as I love Greek mythology in any book. However, it does need to meet a certain standard, and at times, I just didn't feel like these gods were believable, only because they didn't seem to have changed with the times at all. I don't care how old you are, your manner and your speech are bound to change, at least a little bit, over the course of centuries. But I found that the gods here came across very much as they always would have been at the beginning of time. So it just didn't ring true for me.

Additionally, I just had a really difficult time liking Portia. This was a very complex character, so I do admire the author's writing chops to create such a character, but at the same time, through most of the book, I just didn't like who she was at all. The two love interests were interesting, and I definitely liked one more than the other, but time will tell just which one Portia will end up with, as this appears to be a series in the making.

All in all, I liked the author's writing style and storytelling, but when it was all said and done, this just wasn't the book for me.
