 What did I just read?

I have no idea. This book is a mix of teenage drama and mangled Greek mythology, wrapped up in comic release.
I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud while reading this. My family looked at me like I was crazy.

Alexis is hilarious and her pet snake is the best character of all times. See for yourself:
“I’m so proud right now...this is the best day of my life. I knew you had it in you, bestie. Pussy power, crush the patriarchy! Don’t stop now—murder them all. KILL EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM!”


And again:

“Don’t be ridiculous,” she hissed as she loosened her grip. “I’m not some common dog—you will carry me, and you will enjoy it.”


I went in blind and enjoyed the ride. I’m happy with the ending and now I want to know what the other two Spartan will do to get Hercules back.
