    I'm so boooored. They keep saying stuff like "we weren't prepared for what was in store for us" dundundun! Like okay ??? I'm halfway through the book and you've now said that at the end of every chapter how about making something actually happen that isn't incredibly tropey and uninteresting. I'm going to finish it because people are saying on Storygraph that there's a good twist at the end. Someone lowkey spoiled it a bit by hinting too much (on Storygraph) so now I don't even know if it's worth it or not. Can anyone tell me if this book picks up and is actually worth pushing through.

    This wasn’t bad in any way, I just never fully got into this book. I loved the nicknames and humor throughout this book and at the same time its ability to hurt me. I almost wish this book was longer so we could get to know the characters and world better.

    Sooo the forest is obviously a metaphor for internalized homophobia, right?

    This was a little slow in the beginning but it’s really picking up pace now! It’s really reminding me of “If we were villains” so far and I’m interested in how far along in the story I’ll see parallels.

    The names red and blue are giving me major Gnomeo and Juliet vibes and I’m living for it

    I've seen some people love it and some people ambivalent so it appears just to be one of those books that gets a mixed reception. I've been reading this book since July and I'm only just now at a part that is in any way engaging for me. AT 89% THROUGH. I think I need a break. Personally feel as if the intention of this book could easily have been achieved with half the word count. The characters almost became caricatures of themselves 😔

    The beginning of this book was very slow, I almost didn’t finish it. I’m so happy I stuck with it and did. I loved this book. I didn’t feel lost or confused even as I know nothing of the Greek gods or their stories. It was fun reflecting through other comments and seeing how these stories all connected though this one book. I might have to buy a physical copy of this book just for how much I enjoyed it.
