Full Review on my blog!
Hunt of the Gods is the second book in this series, and wow I am loving this series so far! I definitely liked this one way better than the first.
Hunt of the Gods takes place two months after book one. War-scion Derek Areios and the rogue scions continue their quest to find the Trinity Weapons and the Shards of Cronus. A LOT happens in this one, I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you do pick up this series you won't be disappointed. It was fast paced, action packed, and had great character development. The plot is clever and I LOVE all the twists. I think my favourite part was the Union of the Seas Festival, it was so unique and creative. Also, the politics among the gods was very intriguing.
Greek mythology has always been so interesting to me, all the stories I used to be told, and have read. I loved the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, so I was soo excited when I saw this series, since I haven't read any mythology retellings since that series was released.
I'm looking froward to reading more in this series, because OMG THE CLIFFHANGER!!! I really can't wait for the next book!
I highly recommend this to those who like action-filled urban fantasy and a twist on mythology!

I read the first book and really enjoyed it. And to summarize, I love books that really nail the retelling thing down whether it’s mythology, folklore, or fairy tales. It’s just fun.
So I wasn’t surprised that this book would be a fun ride. In fact, most of what I wanted to see in the first book ended up in this book. I love how Braun reimagines the Greek gods in modern times—what they would look like or sound like if they came back and demanded our complete devotion. We get to meet more characters in this book and we get knee-deep in some Greek mythology that anyone with basic knowledge on the subject will understand and enjoy.
But I’m not just a sucker for Greek mythology. Braun nailed the pacing in this book where we get fast-paced fight scenes and cool down moments. With Braun’s worldbuilding, she keeps up with her own rules to the point where it’s easy to jump in and understand the weight of Derek’s decisions.
I mentioned this on Instagram but I mean it: you’ll really love this series if you loved Lightning Thief and you’re ready for something that has grown up with you. The book is also appropriate for teen readers and up. Braun touches on the real nature of the Greek gods and their insatiable appetites which I think is good for readers of all ages.
