This book had SO much "I'm not like other girls" vibes going on that I nearly put it down by 10%. Not to mention the info dumping.

I'm bummed out because I love books based on mythology but this was angsty teen-level drama mashed up with the Chosen One trope (and not in a good way) and gods know what else.

I don't even know what this book was but I felt like all the pieces of a great story were there but the execution failed those elements tragically.

Ive lost interest in greek focused books. I think Ive just read to many of them. Not this books fault. Its just a personal preference thing. I waited so long to review it in case I ever get back in the mood to finish it but after this long I doubt it will happen.

Lost interest in this book, so I won't be reading it as the synopsis doesn't really draw mw in anymore. I feel bad because it looks to be a good book too!

I was not able to get into this book. The writing style was not to my liking, it had a bit of a tween feel to it even though I know that is not the intended audience. I think that it was because of this that I could not enjoy this book.
I hate to give negative or bad reviews, I didn't love this or hate it, it was just not for me. The storyline of the book was confusing and the lead character was slightly annoying.

Omega is an addictive, engaging adventure that effortlessly combines fantasy, greek mythology, and dystopia. Not only does our MC Lyssa entertain a few monsters, she can also see the strands of life and thus can create or destroy anything as she sees fit. Once again reunited with two of her past creations, her journey is kickstarted into a dangerous game not only of politics and war, but of romance and sacrifices.

Lyssa is brave and strong, as she was raised to survive. She can fight and hold her own when isolated in a forest with little resources. However, being raised by Preists who only wanted to keep her safe by keeping her isolated and unaware of the outside world, Lyssa is met with certain disadvantages when she finally gets introduced to the world outside of her forest. Foolish and optimistic, she walks right into disaster multiple times. She always finds a way out however. She learns a lot in this first novel and it is amazing to see how much she grows in such a short time merely by being introduced to a world she never new about.

Adonis is my favourite character in the novel and he is what made this book so amazing for me. It was easy to get attached to him, creature by night and man by day. He is cold and intelligent, loyal and trusting and just overall a brilliant character. He was shown little love and loyalty growing up and yet he is not so damaged that he can't be loyal. He is protective and honest. I loved ever minute with him and I hope we can see much more of him in the next novel!

As brilliant as the characters are, the world could use a little more detail. Gods and humans are at war, and some of the most powerful people want to control Lyssa for their own political gains or revenge. We know this. However it is hard to visualize where they all are on a map and how it works. Are they like the US and Canada, each with their own cities, people, and rulers? How are they all so close together and yet all have their own power of reinging?

Overall, this is an intense start to the series and I definitly want to read the next book asap!

DNF.

Maybe it is me, and I've read so many books by now that I just know when something is for me and when it is not. I tried reading this one, but I just hate the "Chosen One" thrope. It has been done soooo many times that I just can't be bothered with it anymore. I also didn't like the MC, she was doing a lot of slut-shaming and acted really stupid. So no.. not for me.

I really enjoyed the world and how it was set up. Every power struggle was believable and the meddling of gods with man felt as natural as it did in Greek stories.

Lyssa is clearly naive, but is capable of learning quickly. My heart was breaking for her at the end of this book.

I cannot wait to read on and find out how each of the characters' adventures unfold.

I think the thing I like most about this series is the author gives us all the info we want and more. I read the mini series before this novel and loved getting to know each character before the main events began.

One part of the story that I felt was missing was a point of view by the gods. I feel like we got the motive and background for each of the major players in the book but the gods. What do they actually want?
