But power is intoxicating, revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is certain—except the lengths they will go to win this game.

I got like 20% of the way into it or 28 excuse me% of the way into it and realized like this is fine but I'm not really caring a ton I'm not really like super inclined to keep listening I'm not like super looking forward to listening on my walks and things like that it was just pretty slow moving I mean 28% of the way in is over 100 pages and it just like not a lot was happening it was kind of dragging we weren't learning things at like a decent clip especially for a ya book

Lore

Alexandra BrackenEvery seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are 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, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. 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 her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost—and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.
