But this was a good retelling, not overwhelming feminist (in a way that feels forced) but a great story. I loved both MCs. ...more
I just felt like we were missing something??? (Maybe it's that I'm re-reading Divine Rivals AND the new Percy Jackson so normal books don't compare??) I just felt like we were missing something??? (Maybe it's that I'm re-reading Divine Rivals AND the new Percy Jackson so normal books don't compare??) It was cute and I liked all of the movie tie-ins. I was just hoping for more, if that makes sense. I wasn't strongly attached to anyone and I didn't feel like this really added anything to the story for me. If you need a cute, fluffy read, this is it tho No crazy new information and really easy to understand, so it was good for while I took a break from college work (on that note, send help, I'm diving back in ...more

She was like OH I LOVE MY BABY, which is great, motherly instincts and all, but it was odd. She wouldn't shut up about it but when she had the chance to escape, she wouldn't. I think if she really loved her baby more than anyone, she would have left, had the baby, and then come back to end things. Plus, everyone is apparently very confused and doesn't understand that once is enough for these things to happen. *cough, cough* (hide spoiler)] Overall, I was just very aggravated with these books. I read them because I felt like I needed to, that they were going to get better, but they never did. I would just skip it. ...more
