Description
Content Warning: Emotional abuse, battle scenes, up-close death
An exiled goddess goes on a quest to clear her name and save Mount Olympus in Talia Rothschild & A. C. Harvey’s action-packed young adult debut, The Immortal Game!
Galene, daughter of Poseidon, desperately wants to earn her place among the gods. But when a violent attack leaves Mount Olympus in chaos and ruins, she is accused of the crime. Banished from Olympus, Galene sets out to prove her innocence and discovers a more deadly plot—one that threatens even the oldest of Immortals.
Fortunately, she has allies who willingly join her in exile:
A lifelong friend who commands the wind.
A defiant warrior with deadly skill.
A fire-wielder with a hero’s heart.
A mastermind who plays life like a game.
All-out war is knocking at the gates. Galene and her friends are the only ones who can tip the scales toward justice, but their choices could save Olympus from total annihilation, or be the doom of them all.
Initial Thoughts
I couldn’t wait to dive into this book. Children of the greek gods? A test of power to determine if you’re worthy of immortality? Sign me up!
- Some Things I Liked
- Multiple POVs. I loved the different POVs here. They all felt so perfect and I loved that they were distinctly different from each other. Each of the narrating characters had different things that motivated them and drove them to their actions and I loved reading from each of their perspectives.
- The romance plots. I also really enjoyed the distinctly different romance plots. Kostas and Galene were probably my favorite because they had snarky banter.
- Standalone. I loved that this book wrapped up as one book. I also hated that because I want more of this world and these characters, but I really respect the fact that it wrapped up so succinctly in one book.
Series Value
Give me all the books about these characters and set in this world. I love greek mythology and loved the voices of these authors. I’d happily keep reading.
Final Thoughts
This book dethroned Percy Jackson as my favorite book inspired by greek mythology. Need I say more?
