Description
"Witty and clever with delightfully amusing characters, Athena's Gambit is like The Hunger Games meets Percy Jackson. I loved it to the very end and can't wait for more books in the series." -Mary Ellen Bramwell, bestselling author of When I Was Seven
Death was supposed to be the end. For Diomedes, it's just the beginning.
Reincarnated into a deadly tournament where Greek and Roman gods pit mortals against each other for entertainment, Dio must choose a divine patron and fight for his afterlife. While others seek the favor of mighty Zeus or seductive Aphrodite, Dio makes an unexpected choice-Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.
Transported to a world of ancient magic and mythological monsters, Dio discovers the tournament's true stakes run deeper than divine amusement. When he's sent as bait to the cave of the legendary Gorgon sisters, he does the unthinkable-he befriends them. Along with a pack of rebellious Hounds of War, this unlikely team must navigate shifting alliances, corrupt gods, and challenges that could destroy them all. In a world where immortals hold all the power, sometimes the greatest weapon is refusing to kneel.
Athena's Gambit pits mythology against itself with humorous and gripping results.

I am a huge fan of mythology, especially Greek myth, so this was a must-read for me! Athena is my favorite goddess, so it instantly hooked me. I am happy to say I was not disappointed by this book.
I came for the Greek mythology but stayed for the character development and world-building. I love a good sassy protag, and this book certainly delivered. I love Dio as a character; I cannot wait to see how he keeps developing in future books. I love the way Keller put his own spin on myth; it was recognizable yet unique, and it did not feel like something you have seen dozens of times in other books and media. I am so excited for the rest of this series; I cannot wait to see more. I have not been this excited about a Greek Myth book since Percy Jackson, and this book has quickly reached that level of god-tier Greek Myth adaptation for me.
