I honestly can’t explain it, other than the authors magical ability to tell such a moving and engaging book that I’m transported into it wholly. I can count on one hand how many books have just truly spoken to me and have made me feel seen – even though I’ve suffered none of the things the characters have. I find that there are very few books that purely resonate with me. Thank you to NetGalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.įirstly, I did not expect to tear up and cry during this book. 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. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend of Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods.
For years she’s pushed away any thought of revenge against the man–now a god–responsible for their deaths. 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. 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. Overall, if you want a brilliant fantasy book that will keep you entertained, then Bracken will sort you out.Every seven years, the Agon begins. And while this is meant to be inspired by Arthurian mythology but it’s barely noticeable besides being set in Avalon and the mention of Kind Arthur, but other than that, it doesn’t really cover much on the myology side of things. Bracken was able to, yet again, create a epic world and was able to pay attention to the minute detail. Throw in complex characters, with dark backstories, bold personalities that create lots of action and plot twists that will leave you invested. We follow Tasmin, a mortal that strives and fights for the survival of her cursed brother, to cover the basic version of the plot. After the Darkest Minds series getting turned into movies and the recent release Lore being a masterpiece, there was no doubt that Silver in the Bone was going to be just as wonderful. Thank you Hachette Australia for this book in exchange for an honest reviewĪlexandra Bracken is of those authors that no matter what she writes about, you know it is going to be enjoyable.
