Hello everyone! Welcome to our inaugural book review post. We are so excited to start this journey and what better way to do it than to start off with a bang? LORE by Alexandra Bracken was just published this past week and both of us fell deeply in love with this book when we received advanced copies through NetGalley. “Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family’s sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory. For years she’s pushed away any thought of revenge against the man—now a god—responsible for their deaths. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore’s decision to bind her fate to Athena’s and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost—and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.” (Official synopsis) For this first post, and please bear with us, we are going to give you both of our mini reviews and then a special treat! Alexandra Bracken was so lovely and took time out of her busy schedule to answer some of our questions. So we beg you, literally beg you, to stick with us until the end because you don’t want to miss some of these answers!
