I did not finish this book. It was not what I was expecting. The characters were not fleshed out very well and I have no idea what the plot is supposed to be. Choppy and unexciting.

The writing, story, and characters fell flat for me. There is also a mix of fonts, size, and even color for reports, articles, memory files, ads, detention slips, class assignments, and more every few pages—it is not for me, not one bit. It may have been cool if subtle, but as is it is entirely distracting.

Athena’s Choice is 49 chapters long, which seems like a lot, but the average chapter is 1-3 pages and in the case of chapter 29, only three paragraphs. And, as an example of the writing, here is the last line of chapter 29.

Around her neck still hung the pink, sapphire Helix-pendant, glimmering into the dark.

What are those commas doing and how is the stone reflecting in the dark?

The whole scene was of Athena pulling up a number but not calling it. It could have been meaningful but seemed so out of place alone as it’s own chapter.

Chapters 38 and 39 also have only had three paragraphs though they are one scene. There was no point in splitting it. My biggest issue with it is that the writing could be better and the story could be interesting, but it was published too soon so with all the errors, and strange formatting make it not worth reading.

I love the cover.
