I'm not sure how this novel ended up on my list, but I believe that was because "Hunger Games like" convinced me... What can I say? I am that easy...
The story is pretty cool, though. They take Hades and give him a total makeover. He's not the evil guy you usually think of. He's more like... I don't know, a misunderstood dude? But it's a pretty cool twist, but kinda weird at the same time.
I think this book would be great for younger readers. It's kinda lighthearted and doesn't get too deep into the whole Greek mythology thing. It's more like a fun adventure.
I did like the story, but I didn't really care about the characters. They were okay, but I didn't feel super connected to them. Maybe it's just me.
