This is one of those books/series that is so bad that you just kind of go along for the ride. I only bought it second-hand because my library didn't have the second and third books in the series and the first one was kind of a train wreck that I felt the need to see it through. Definitely a guilty pleasure, but don't expect an accurate re-telling of Greek mythology (do expect a lot of relationship miscommunication...that is basically the plot of this entire book). Also, immortal being falling in love with a 17 year old is an unwelcome trope. It's more apparent in this book than the first.
