Athena
is gathering as many gods as possible in hopes to win the God war and remain
immortal. She is also trying to protect
Cassi, a human who can see parts of the future and can kill the gods with the
touch of her hands. As Athena gathers
her forces of gods, heroes and humans, she doesn’t expect to feel concern and
love for her group of soldiers, but as she starts to care for them it makes her
decisions to go to war harder. And when
an old enemy, that she thought was dead, is found still alive, Athena begins to
wonder who could possibly end this war on top.
This is an interesting take on the gods—it feels like normal characters
have been given god names in a modern world.
The world isn’t believable and I didn’t relate to any of the
characters. The blood and gore is
grotesque and violent and the language is not great either. The ending is a total cliff hanger. There are better series out there about the
Greek gods.
