From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of THE DARKEST MINDS comes a high-octane story of power, destiny and redemption. A lifetime ago, Lore Perseous left behind the brutal, opulent world of the Agon families - ancient Greek bloodlines that participate in a merciless game every seven years. A game that is about to begin again ...

For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods with a game called the Agon, which turns them mortal for one week, and at the mercy of being hunted by those with godly ambitions. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended.

After her family's sadistic murder by a rival bloodline, Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one thing - surviving. For seven years, she has pushed back dark thoughts of revenge against the man responsible for their murder, a man by the name of Wrath who has attained unimaginable power. Except for one week, every seven years. A week that is fast approaching ...

When Lore comes home on the first night of the Agon to find Athena gravely wounded on her doorstep, the goddess offers her an alliance; they have a mutual enemy, after all. But as the world trembles under the force of Wrath - a god with the power to destroy all of humanity - will Lore's decision to bind her fate with Athena's come back to haunt her?

I admit that I didn’t like the author’s „Darkest Minds“ YA trilogy. I read book one and although I liked the concept, I found the story as such rather boring. So I was a bit hesitant about „Lore“, although, again, the concept sounded very good. And what can I say: this time I got what I hoped for. Actually, I had real problems laying the book down once I started reading.

In Lore‘s world, the Ancient Greek gods are real and because Zeus cursed nine of them, they become mortal for a week every seven years. During that time, called the agon, the descendants of the half-god heroes like Perseus and Odysseus, hunt them and try to kill them, because whoever kills a god, can take his power for themselves.
Lore lived through a lot of tragedy and ended up the sole mortal member of the Perseides family. Because of said tragedy (which gets revealed bit by bit in flashback-chapters), Lore wanted out. She doesn’t live in this world of gods and descendants any more, but a power-hungry new god and the old goddess Athena asking for her help, drag her back in. And while Lore, Athena and her very few allies plan and fight and scheme, the reader slowly gets to see the whole gruesome picture. I can’t tell more about the plot, because spoiler and so on, but it’s full of fights, revelations, and some cool cool twists. There is a lot of action, barely a moment‘s rest for Lore, which made it so hard to stop reading.
Lore is a broken person, who is yet not without hope and who hasn’t given up. Her friend and housemate Miles is a good example for her still being able to form meaningful friendships and relationships. I liked her a lot, although her struggle to keep her calm was at times annoying to see. But then, who’s perfect? The world-building is well done, although I guess it’s a good thing that I know a bit Greek mythology, so I had no problems getting the concepts and knowing which god and hero Lore was talking about. The idea of the agon and this parallel world were cool and blended perfectly with nowadays New York City, where the story takes place.
The book is a stand-alone and - unusual enough - I didn’t miss a thing. The 438 pages wrapped it all up nicely.

Gut gemeinte vier Sterne

Ach ja, ich bin durch eine Buch-Bloggerin auf dieses Buch aufmerksam geworden. Und ich war so gespannt darauf, weil ich Geschichten mit dem Thema Mythologie/ Götter/ Göttinnen/ female Hero toll find. Und ich hatte hohe Erwartungen. Auf dem Titelbild steht: The games have begun and she's playing for her life" und hinten drauf,, an epic from start to finish". Und ich so am Anfang yeeeeah und am Ende naaaajjjaaa... Die Story an sich ist ganz gut. Und ich mag die Charaktere, die Beschreibung meiner Lieblingsstadt New York, und wie die Autorin es geschafft hat die Gefühle der Protagonistin so bildhaft zu erzählen. Aber ich weiss nicht an was es lag, aber irgendwie hat mir was gefehlt. Und ich bin auch nur so durch gestolpert. Ich hatte keinen Lesefluss indem man nur so dahingleitet. Es war ein holpern und ich musste immer wieder ne Pause machen. Das ist jetzt mein persönlicher Eindruck. Trotzdem ne tolle Story.

Mitologia greca e Hunger Games si incontrano in questa meravigliosa distopia ambientata ai giorni nostri a New York. Questo libro mi ha catturata, non solo perché c'è Medusa sulla copertina, ma perché la storia è ricca di plot twist inaspettati, scene commoventi e crescita personale! Lore è una ragazza che ha perso tutto, ma che ha il coraggio di mettere da parte la vendetta e la rabbia e trovare la felicità in ciò che la circonda!
A me è piaciuto molto!

Per quanto riguarda lo stato del libro: consegna Amazon puntuale e veloce come al solito, il libro è arrivato in buono stato.
