I loved this book from the very start! I was immediately captivated by its innovative yet somehow familiar setting, and loved exploring the world! I'm anxiously waiting for a sequel!

THE IMMORTAL GAME is an adventure-based YA fantasy stemming from Greek mythology. Mount Olympus is run by the gods and goddesses we all know, but their children also compete for immortality through a battle trial. The book begins with Galene, daughter of Poseidon and Aphrodite, competing for her immortality. When she draws the cards, it seems as though they are stacked against her and impossible to pass. Her failure means she will have to age 10 more years before she can attempt again.

After she fails, monsters are unleashed on Olympus, and she is blamed for the chaos that follows. Although innocent, the sentencing of the gods is swift, and Galene is exiled, never to become an immortal nor see her family and friends on Olympus again. Her BFF, Iyana, daughter of Zeus, chooses to go into exile with her, believing in her innocence and is joined by her boyfriend, Demitri, who is ready to take a stand against Olympian injustice.

Without anywhere else to go, they seek out Galene's brother who betrayed Olympus and has been determined to overthrow the regime with the help of vengeful, exiled gods and goddesses. Once there, they learn of new plots that set them on quests they could never have imagined - with the help of their other friends, Kostas and Braxtos.

What I loved: This plot was so imaginative, and I loved the mythology and questing elements throughout. The story moves quickly, and the writing is action-packed with everything moving the story forward. I appreciated the surprising twists that are scattered throughout. The book is also told through the perspective of multiple characters, but it manages to be easy to follow and gives the story a lot of dimensionality. The riddles, quests, beasts, and games were all very imaginative, and the world-building was strong.

Final verdict: Imaginative, action-packed, and full of mythology, THE IMMORTAL GAME is a strong YA fantasy/adventure read that will appeal to fans of LORE and Percy Jackson.

Please note that I received an ARC from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

My heart is filled with so much love and happiness for Kostas and Galene🥺

Also, I never imagined that I'd actually like the Olympians??? I shan't ever get tired of Greek Mythology.


I am the daughter of Poseidon, God of Seas.
I will save my friends. I will clear my name.
I will tame the sea.

Here lies Mount Olympus—home of the Greek Gods where they live under rule of the Olympians in peace. Not all of the gods are immortal, though. Each of them must prove their worth to be able to gain immortality, this being done by taking the Immortality Trial. Pass and you are granted immortality—fail, and you must wait another 10 years before taking the test again.

Galene, daughter of Poseidon, has prepared all her life to prove her worth and loyalty, especially after the actions of her brother, Chrysander, years before. However, unfortunate incidents occur eventually leading up to a vicious attack on Mount Olympus that has everyone believing Galene to be the perpetrator. With this, comes her exile from Olympus and the journey amongst friends to uncover the truth and prove Galene's innocence.

"I am worthy of being a deity."

The story followed four POVs and I really liked how distinct their personalities were. Galene is my favourite of the four like she's the quiet type of strong and her character was done spectacularly. And while at times her loyalty towards certain beings seemed foolish, I had to admire it a lot. Even being banished from Mount Olympus, she still felt loyal to the very gods who exiled her. Just wow. I would despise them and look forward to revenge. now what does that say about me?

Also, she's the daughter of Poseidon??? One of my favourite Olympians ahh so how could I not love her?? Apollo will forever remain my #1 favourite

"Because I love you, and someone needed to stand up for you."

Iyana, daughter of Zeus, cares so much for her friends, I adore her loyalty and love for Galene like its' seriously just so sweet. Her stubbornness too when she'd be facing gods she knows are way stronger her like wow I could never. The way she feels like she's useless, especially with the added pressure of being Zeus's daughter yet not having much of his powers... its so sad watching her despair over this. There were moments where she's annoy me but overall her character development was done really well.


Braxtos, the son of Apollo, was probably my least favourite of the gang. He annoyed me at times, but he also had his admirable moments. There wasn't really anything that stood out about him. He was just there for me, I guess.

"Everything is a game."

Kostas, the son of Hermes, is just perfect. First, I mean he's the God of Games, so how cool is that??? And he's always trying to lift the mood up when everyone's acting all depressed, it's so sweet omg. Also, the way Kostas is literally the only reasonable god among the group—I guess that's what happens when you can read others' emotions👀

Okay but Kostas and Galene?? my hearttt they're so adorable omg I adore those two; I was literally shipping them so hard throughout the story. THEY'RE SO CUTE. The wholesome interactions and Kostas flirting with Galene- *screaming* *extreme fangirling* I'm in love.

So sad that this is a standalone because I won't be seeing anymore sweet moments between the two 😭 There will never be enough Kostene (?) me attempting at a ship name scenes.

The other bond I loved here was the one between Iyana and Galene omg their friendship was so heartwarming ahhh and the one between Kostas and Braxtos?? *chef's kiss* Kostas punching Braxtos will forever remain one of my favourite scenes. True friendship indeed.😌


I really should've been able to guess who the culprit was behind framing Galene for the incident at Mount Olympus but my brain really doesn't like to work when the answer is so obvious smh.

Honestly, I still can't believe the fatherly love I saw from some of the Olympians, especially from both Poseidon and Zeus towards their children like??? I mean, they were still jerks of course, but they were also actually so sweet🥺 Really suspicious if you ask me. I'm not used to this kindness hmmm. But I do really love them <3

Again, I wish this wasn't a standalone because I want more of these characters *sobs* but The Immortal Games had a beautiful and heartwarming conclusion that definitely has me satisfied. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars was because it took awhile to get really engaged with the story and there were some scenes that dragged on a little, but other than that, I loved it!


And now I feel like rereading the Percy Jackson series...


(4.5⭐)

The Immortal Game follows Galene, daughter of Poseidon. To gain immortality and claim her place among the gods, Galene must be tested. When she fails the test and is framed for the destruction of Olympus, she is exiled. She set out to prove her innocence, along with a few friends, only to unearth a plot to destroy Olympus. Desperate to save her home, and clear her name, she and four of her friends set out on a quest. They must find a mythical instrument, and warn the gods before it’s too late.

This is such a fun adventure novel! It’s perfect for fans of Greek mythology, but you do not need to be a lover of Greek mythology to enjoy The Immortal Game.

I think my favorite part about this story was the great characters. Galene is wonderful. She wants to become an immortal and look out for her friends and family. While Galene is the protagonist, the story is told in the third person and each chapter focuses on Galene or one of her friends. Without giving too much away, the story has plenty of romance and twists and turns.

Although it’s not listed as a series, I’m hoping that there will be a sequel! I would definitely check this one out if you are a fan of YA adventure novels!

Thank you to Xpresso Tours, Netgalley, and Swoon Reads for the review copy! All opinions are my own.

4.5/5 stars

The Immortal Game is a fantastic take on Greek mythology perfect for fans of Percy Jackson who want something more YA than middle grade.

I had huge expectations, and I'm so glad that The Immortal Game lived up to them! Ever since I got hooked on Percy Jackson at the age of eight, I've loved Greek mythology. I had books and books of them, some fiction stories and others the real myths. I'm always on the hunt for a new mythology book, and this one was nearly perfect!

Galene, daughter of Poseidon, desperately wants to win her immortality and take her place among the gods. But when Olympus is attacked from the inside, she is wrongly accused and exiled. Banished from her home, Galene sets out to earn her way back. Thankfully, she's not on her own. Four other allies join her in her quest to earn her way home and save Olympus.

There are four POVs in this story. While that could be confusing, I was absolutely delighted. I love a large cast of main characters! There were five of them on the main quest, which seems like the perfect number! I was a little worried that with four MCs and one standalone 400-pager we wouldn't get enough character development, but I'm more than happy to be wrong sometimes! All four of them were developed well and thoroughly.

The characters themselves were unique and compelling. Galene was the main main character, but that didn't mean that the others didn't get their time to shine! I admired Galene's courage, Kostas's wits, Braxtos's passion, and Iyana's quiet strength. I also loved that we had a character who couldn't fight but was able to win with his intellect! That isn't something we see a lot in high fantasy, so I'm infinitely happy to see it.

While I loved all the questing parts with all my heart, I could have done without the war and all the massive battles. When you have the small fights that come with a five-person quest, everything seems very personal. As soon as you add armies, you can't focus on the characters much and everything becomes distanced from the reader. The quest was a five-star while the war was only a four-star, which is where the 4.5 came from.

All in all, I really loved this book. It scratched that mythology itch that I've had since Percy Jackson, and I'm so happy to add another Greek mythology book to my repertoire.

Thanks to Swoon Reads and NetGalley for an advanced eARC of this to review! The summary definitely gives me Percy Jackson vibes, which I’m always here for. Been kind of in the mood to read some Greek mythology, and this hit the spot!

If you’re looking for an action packed book to pick up this summer, this will absolutely hit the spot! Right from the beginning, Rothschild and Harvey drop you into the middle of the action, and it doesn’t really let up until the end of the book.

What adds to the pacing is the switch between different characters throughout the book. The constant switching between characters propels you forward, which is great for someone who likes fast pacing. For me, it made it difficult to really connect to any of the main characters in the book. I think there were 5 narrators in all? I just wanted a little more character development from at least one or two of them.

There is also a lot of Greek mythology packed in this book. In fact, some of the stuff they reference I had to brush up on, because I didn’t quite get the references. There’s some elements that I think the authors assume you’ll know, so they don’t necessarily go into as much detail. With the pacing of the plot, some elements get lost and I think this adds to not really connecting to the characters.

All in all, if you’re looking for a fast paced book to read this summer all about Greek mythology, this is for you! Especially if you read for plot more than you read for character.

I generally enjoyed the book, but there were times that I had difficulty staying involved with the text. While I appreciated that it was a Grecian mythology book geared toward young adults, it was missing the spark that made Percy Jackson as intriguing. The characters in "The Immortal Game" were not as engaging to me, but I did generally like them. The pacing of the book also felt too quick, which took away from the overall immersion and enjoyment. It's still worth reading if you're a fan of mythology. The story is unique and reading about demigods is fun.

The Immortal Game is non-stop action from the first page! This young adult fiction is set in a world ruled by the Greek gods (honestly, who doesn't love a good Greek fantasy?). In order for the children of the gods to become immortal like them, they must complete a trial to test their worthiness. When something goes hideously awry, the daughter of Poseidon must clear her name with the help of her steadfast friends, leading her on a thrilling adventure testing her strength, wit, and friendships. The authors created a wonderfully new twist on the Greek mythology genre that readers will definitely enjoy. There are two romantic story lines within the book: one with Iyana and the other with the main character Galene. The Iyana love triangle was well developed while the Galene romance felt a little rushed (typical of real-life teen romances, but could have used more build-up throughout the book). Overall, this is an enjoyable, action-packed fantasy that will keep you reading and make you ask "when will the authors publish more?!".

Book Review
Title: The Immortal Game by Talia Rothschild & A.C. Harvey
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Mythology
Rating: 4 Stars
I initially requested The Immortal Game because the synopsis sounded similar to the Percy Jackson series which I have loved reading although I haven’t read the other series yet. One thing quickly established in this book is that all children of the Gods need to take part in something called the Immortality Trials to earn their place on Mount Olympus and gain their immortality, similar to how Hercules has to undergo his trials to secure his immortality in the Disney movie. This was an interesting perspective to start from as most books focused on Greek mythology tend to focus on demi-gods like Percy Jackson but these children are full-blooded Gods and just the idea of the powers they could have had me griped. We learn that the children of the Big Three Gods; Zeus, Poseidon and Hades have to take their trails before the other godly children and this is where we are introduced to Galene, daughter of Poseidon as she is taking her trial.
However, during her trial Galene is presenting with an impossible task resulting in her failing the trail, we don’t have time to dwell on what this failure means as Mount Olympus is attacked and Galene is blamed for the attack. She is exiled and a few of her friends, Iyana, daughter of Zeus, Demetri, son of Ares, Braxtus, son of Apollo and Kostas, son of Hermes decide to follow her and help Galene clear her names. Galene spends the beginning portion of the novel looking for her previously banished brother, Chrysander and she soon learns that he and some others have a deadly plot to deal with the oldest of the Olympians. Together with her friends, Galene sets off on a quest to find a relic that is going to save or destroy Olympus. From the very first page I was sucked into the four POV’s, The Immortal Game had to offer and how each of the characters fates depended on each out but not of necessity but out of love and honour. My favourite character was Iyana and her friendship with Galene was beautiful as they stand up for each other and support each other not matter the personal cost to themselves.
One thing that really stood out for me was how many intricacies of magic and character were interwoven with the story and these elements really shined for me. From Iyana’s empowerment to how Kostas’ power shapes his view of the world, this novel gave me so much to think on before writing my review. One of the my only criticisms of this book would be it could have been twice as long and I still would have devoured every single page. Overall, The Immortal Game is a fast-packed, consistent drama as the group of friend discover tyranny and chaos and face it bravely together for what matters most to them. The characters were complex to match the shifted storyline and the sacrifices and the fight for justice really comes to the forefront. One thing I absolutely adored about The Immortal Game was it was full of one-liners that made me laugh out loud in some cases and the characters really reflect an understanding of life far beyond their ages. It is very well written and I have to commend Talia Rothschild and A. C. Harvey for the research and creativity they put into this debut and I will definitely be reading more from this pair in the future especially if they decide to change this from a standalone to a series.

If you are looking for a clean YA novel with action, a dash of romance, and Greek mythology then this is the book for you. While this book may have been written by two authors, their prose worked seamlessly together that I didn't notice where one author left off and the other began. While, I do wish the novel could have been longer to fit in MORE subplots, I do admit that Rothschild and Harvey crafted excellent characters whose growth develops organically and is well paced throughout the book.
An honorable mention must be made for Iyana. While the other characters were well thought out and endearing, Iyana's character arc blew the others out of the water. May all young girls see their own potential through such a strong character.
This debut novel will be a hit for those who enjoy the world building of Rick Riordan and the plot puzzles of Brandon Mull.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! What an interesting take on the Gods and their kids. We’ve seen it done before but never quite like this. This ARC made me giddy with delight.

This book is about a goddess who was exiled because she was accused of a crime she did not commit. To clear her name and prove her innocence, she and her friends set out on an adventure to find a very important orb. One that started a war that they must help win against an army of monsters and banished gods and goddesses.

First thoughts about this book, this book is Greek myth-inspired, specifically, I think it is inspired by Uncle Rick’s Percy Jackson books, so you bet I would jump aboard and read this one!

So let’s talk about the characters first…. We have four of them.

I like that one of this book’s main characters is the daughter of the god of the sea, Poseidon! I mean I have been a fan of Greek mythology since I started reading the PJO series and that I always wondered what the story would be like if Poseidon had a daughter.

Thank you, Talia and A.C. for creating this and giving me answers. Haha!

So our first main character is Galene, the daughter of Poseidon. Her powers were established from the beginning of the story. She is a powerful goddess but not quite the badass type. If you know what I mean.

She has the power to control the tides and to breathe underwater which is pretty neat for a daughter of the god of the sea.

I like her but she did not have the best personality in the book. That is my opinion. I like her because of how powerful she is but not because I got attached to her character.

Her character did not have the best development throughout the book. I mean, her best friend Iyana has better character development than her, to be honest.

This brings us to our next main character, Iyana the daughter of Zeus.

Oh, Iyana. She seems to be useless, fragile, and weak in the first parts of the book. Which I think was intentional because of how badass she became during the battles. And yes, Iyana is badass.

She is courageous and brave despite her seeing herself as otherwise. She grew up throughout the book and she was not the same Iyana. Which I like.

My favorite part about Iyana was when she fought the griffin. That’s just the extent of what I can tell because I don’t want to spoil you bessies. But that’s my fave part. If you reached that part, you’ll understand why.

The next main character, we have the God of Games, Kostas. He is the son of Hermes and Iris.

Truth be told I didn’t know where Kostas’ loyalty lies. I thought he was friends with Galene but he was the one who caught Galene and gave her to the Olympians to be punished.

One of his powers was knowing someone’s emotions, which is an advantage in games that’s why he became the god of games, but despite knowing Galene’s real emotions about the crime, he did not say anything.

He kept quiet. He did not even say anything to the Olympians about Galene’s emotions. Which made me have a bad first impression of him.

But the bad impression disappeared when he went with Galene on their adventure.

The next main character we have is Braxtus, son of Apollo.

I pictured Braxtus as someone with beefy arms and tall height. I don’t know why but I am thinking it has something to do with his name. It sounds so bulky. Haha!

So Braxtus have an unrequited love towards Iyana. But the way I see it at the beginning of the book, it wasn’t quite unrequited. However, I like how despite being so in love with Iyana, he still has respect for the relationship Iyana had with Demitri.

I wasn’t as attached to Braxtus as the other characters though so I can’t say a lot about him.

Alright! Let’s now talk about the story itself.

The story sounded very common to me. I mean, being accused of a crime and then going out on an adventure to prove your innocence, is there something new?

When they set out to find the orb that could help them clear Galene’s name I thought it would be like any other story where the main characters find the thing and then the villain will catch up and snatch the thing out of their hands.

Boy, was I wrong? Haha!

The plot twist blindsided me. I got distracted by the thought the enemy would catch up to them that I actually disregarded the possibility of betrayal. Which is a very good technique.

I liked the adventure and the war of the story. What I didn’t like though was how the war ended and won. Like bruh!

There was a 50-chapter buildup of the war and it was only won by a card game? What?

It was soooo…. I don’t know how to describe the feeling of it but it was close to unsatisfied. Just the part of the war, the ending, I like it very much.

Yes, I like the ending. They are all happy and they all get what they wanted. It’s just the winning part felt lacking.


The narration is in the third person and was alternating between Galene, Iyana, Braxtus, and Kostas.

I like how detailed the book was. From the emotions that they are feeling up to the battle that they were fighting. It was so detailed that my imagination was so vivid, I felt like I was watching a movie.

It was a good narration.

To wrap this up, it was a pretty good adventure book. It started as common but it packed badassery in the middle. The ending of the war felt short but the ending of the book was good.

I would recommend this book to you bessies if you are the type of reader who likes Greek mythology and adventure books.

The beginning of this review is not going to be eloquent because I am so EXCITED about the release of this book. I mean, THE IMMORTAL GAME deserves all the praise,. All the accolades. I don't get to read many books based on Greek myths (I am not a Percy fan so don't even try with me) so this was a breath of fresh air that kept me up way too late.

Fun fact: I originally typed breast of fresh air, so there's that for how out of my mind I am after reading this book.

In the blurb, we know that a group of teen gods have to save Mount Olympus from a threat outside their borders, but you're not prepared to read not one, not two, but four POVs, and all of them unique and fierce and lovable in their own rights. That being said, you have a lot to love to about this here book.

We open the story with Galene as she preps for a high stake challenge to earn immortal status. But things so awry and she's blamed for an attack on Mount Olympus and subsequently banished. Her best friend exiles herself as well, as does her boyfriend and boyfriend's friend so we have our little fellowship who journey outside their home to locate Galene's exiled brother to find a way to retrieve their status. But as with most books at their ACT 1 stage, things don't go as planned and the four friends embark on an adventure filled with non-stop action, mythical creatures, and magic.

Did I mention the boys in this book are swoon-worthy and fierce?

Galene finds herself in a race for her life and the life of her family back in Mount Olympus. But can she trust those around her?

What I have been rambling about is a fine example of superior storytelling. I cannot get over how fast-paced and heart-wrenchingly good this book was. I wasn't prepared. I feel attacked.

The world-building is superb. The stage is set for a good ol' monster of Greek myth and it was so nice to see the gods at their classic cruelness. I think it's the same with the fae; I like my higher powers mean and nasty, yet harboring a soft spot for love.

If I don't get multiple copies of this book I may just die.

Let's circle back to the family. Galene is hell-bent on proving herself even after her banishment but soon realizes her family is not only by blood but by friendship and by those who are loyal and willing to fight for justice right along with her.

There's some romance, but it's not overpowering to the story. I believe in Galen's case, it's a slow burn.

Final thoughts: Um, loved it? Read if you love reading and books and plots that make you cheer and feel things.

Thank you, Netgalley, and some book tours I'm on for the e-arc.

Galene, the daughter of Poseidon, has looked forward to earning her spot as a god on Mount Olympus but a murder prevents her from doing so and even more, she gets blamed and exiled forever.

Aside from Galene leaving, her friends also decide to go with her. When she comes across a plan that threatens to ruin Mount Olympus, she and her friends must stop it at all cost and prove Galene's innocence.

Star Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5)

I didn't like the multiple POVs as much as I had thought. To me, it was a little underdeveloped but had potential. It was also full of adventure, but it was a little slow in the middle. However, the ending was better and I enjoyed it.

I did like the Greek mythology in it. In 5th grade, I lived for the Goddess Girls by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams which got me into books on Greek mythology ever since.

Overall, The Immortal Game was an action-packed story about Galene and her friends saving mount Mount Olympus from destruction. The Greek mythology was a nice touch and for the most part, I enjoyed reading it.

The Immortal Game is a gripping adventure that will grab a person's attention regardless of age. I was transformed into the story's time and place as Galene and her cast of friends faced challenges, puzzles and danger as they sought to unwrap the mystery of the dark forces afflicting their own lives and seeking to destroy Olympus. I couldn't put the book down until I finished! One of the best reads I've had in years!!

Fast paced YA fantasy for readers who love mythology. The Immortal Game had an intriguing plot and I couldn't put it down.

“Being a hero is about fighting for something bigger than yourself, despite the obstacles, despite the fear.”

The Immortal Game is an action-packed story about the daughter of the Greek God of the sea, Poseidon, and how she strives to prove herself worthy of being an immortal goddess. It traces the adventures of four friends (kind of) and their quest to save the Olympians.

I knew, going into this, that I would get major Percy Jackson vibes from the story. And I did. It incorporates Greek elements in the best way possible. The friendships in this book are so precious and we can see how tight they all are with each other.

The romance was definitely not my favourite part. I have a love-hate relationship with love triangles, and sadly, this one didn’t do it for me. It was pretty clear who the girl was going to choose from the very beginning so I wasn’t really surprised when it actually happened. Though it was refreshing to see a love triangle the main character had no connection to.

Galene and Kostas, however, have the cutest relationship ever and I can actually see that they care for each other a lot. Their friendship that slowly blossoms into something more is heartwarming to read and I honestly love them so much!

This was a fast-paced read, which I absolutely flew through. There wasn’t a single moment where the pacing slowed or I felt like I was losing interest in what was happening.

Overall, this was a marvellous Greek retelling and the authors did an amazing job of bringing these characters and their personalities to life.

I couldn't put it down! I love a good "children of the Greek gods much prove themselves" tale, and I especially love anything that resembles a competition or quest journey. Usually books in this genre admittedly sacrifice character development for action, but The Immortal Game manages to balance non-stop plot with interesting characters and romances.

Thank you to NetGalley for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
In this new twist on Greek mythology, all children of the god must participate in the Immortality Trials to earn their place on Mount Olympus and gain their immortality. The children of the main gods must take their trials 3 years before the other godly children. Galene, daughter of Poseidon, is taking her trial, which proves to be an impossible task resulting in her failure to pass. Shortly after her event, Olympus is violently attacked and Galene is blamed. She is unjustly exiled and four young gods, Iyana (daughter of Zeus), Demetri (son of Ares), Braxtus (son of Apollo), and Kostas (son of Hermes and Iris) follow her to help clear her name. Galene searches for her previously banished older brother, Chrysander, and soon discovers that he and his group are planning a deadly plot against the oldest immortal Olympians. Using her godly gifts, she and her friends quest for a relic that will either save or destroy Olympus.
Most Greek mythology novels focus on demigods – half human, half god. This YA novel focuses on young full-blooded gods. This is a great book for older readers who have moved on from the Percy Jackson series. It is set up as a stand-alone book but the authors have left the door open for possible sequels. I would recommend The Immortal Game for readers in grade 6 and up.

*I read an ARC version of this book in exchange of an honest review*

I received this book April/19/2021 at 10:15am and finished it April/21/2021. I have never finished a book sooner then 2 weeks, but as soon as I read the first page I was so captivated with this book. I couldn't put this book down. my wife had to actually take my phone away so I could do make chores and go exercise. I stayed up every night till 2am reading (btw not a good idea with a toddler). the action builds with each character as the story continues, as well as with the romance just tears at your heart strings, also the authors had done there research on Greek mythology and am very impress at how well it is written. This book had the hairs on my arms and back standing in suspense with every page I turn, it also had me heart broken with compassion for characters as I read.

First things first I am a fanboy when it come to Greek mythology in a book, everyone has such an interesting take on it which is what good my interested in this book. Then I picked this book up and found my self eagerly reading, racing to get to the next page. There is a game in the book called Beast maker, boy does that need to be a game. the creative Genius of this game alone speech to the brilliance of the writers, If it came out I wouldn't be able to restrain myself from buying it and start building my Deck of Fates, creating different combinations of mythical creatures so we can battle to the death.

Secondly, I am a Huge sucker for romance and nothing fills that itch more then a love triangle. They always get me good. This book will have you happy, in-love, melting, moved, crying, and filled with rage while the story progresses. It will have you cheering. lastly it will have you falling in-love.

If you like Greek Mythology, Romance, and fight sense then this is the book for you, its Well written and fast paced, and an over all amazing book to read. if you want to gain your own opinion of this book go pre-order it on amazon and tell your friends about it because I know I will be recommending it to all my friends.
