I though the book was a bit long for the amount of content, but I just totally adored Haden, so all is forgiven ;) I think my favourite parts were definitely Haden figuring out the Human World. I actually really enjoyed the romance as well (: I'm excited for book two! Great review Alyssa!<br />(PS.

When there wasn't action there was character development or some sort of information about the mythology of the world which I found super interesting!

I did not think that I would enjoy it very much, but I thought I would at least give it a shot. It ended up being a very enjoyable series, so when I heard of this one, I definitely knew that I would give it a shot, too. It sounds so good. It also sounds to me like I might just really enjoy it, according to your review! Now, I just need to get a copy of it into my hands!Jaime Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102596597333629396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-43067995340847542032014-02-23T21:22:14.801-05:002014-02-23T21:22:14.801-05:00Awesome review Alyssa another author that I have n...Awesome review Alyssa another author that I have not read yet and I heard nothing but amazing raving review about her Dark Divine Trilogy it looks and sounds so awesome and so does this one but I haven't been getting into a lot of mythology books its not that I don't like mythology I love mythology books but I haven't got a book that kept me interested or wow me at all but this one looks and sounds that I would highly enjoyed it I must give it a try thanks for sharing Alyssa!

I really enjoyed her Dark Divine book, too, and was debating whether or not I wanted to read this one, but it looks like I will be soon from the pacing and romance. I really like when a romance is minimal but you can still recognize the chemistry going on, haha, and yay for a pretty decent heroine! I'm not a huge fan of mythology because my luck hasn't been great with them so far, but maybe we'll see if this one breaks my mythology slump :) Great review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-69272488218891134452014-02-23T16:08:55.581-05:002014-02-23T16:08:55.581-05:00It's not a Hades/Perspehone retelling, if that...It's not a Hades/Perspehone retelling, if that is what you are thinking.

Usually when the author does that, I LOVE the male, but tend to dislike the female. It's rare that the opposite occurs, but occasionally, I'll like both. The characters in this book are pretty great though! So, in this case, the dual perspectives worked.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-63543659325853874372014-02-23T15:32:14.681-05:002014-02-23T15:32:14.681-05:00Me too!

I'm glad you enjoyed it...I love mythology and the length is a bit deterring but I haven't read something like this in awhile so I'm excited! (P.S. I lost PANIC by Lauren Oliver while I was reading it. It seriously disappeared into the thin air, so I'm a bit disappointed but I recently finished THE WINNER'S CURSE which I know you loved and I loved it as well. It'll probably be one of my favorites of the year.

Loved her Dark Divine Trilogy as well and was eager for something new from Bree and plus it was a Greek mythology story, and I LOVE Greek mythology ever since we did a unit in seventh grade!<br /><br />Great review! I read this one so long ago, I can't recall how I felt about it, but I know that I did really enjoy it! And definitely am eager for more! My review will be up next month some time, so if you can remember and want to read it then, go for it! ;)Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.com
