One and a half stars--some of it was okay, but too much of it made me roll my eyes. Irritations started with the melodrama and existential angst, then devolved into the main character's motivations and even the setting descriptions.

(For the record, I gave up on page 106. When the main character began talking about the devastation to Athens and how there were no more skyscrapers, that was it. I couldn't take it anymore. Athens has some tall buildings, yes, but there was no mention of the hills around the city. The hills are far more attention-catching than the tall/commercial buildings. When my disgust grew to the point where I found myself questioning whether the author had even googled photos of Athens, I threw in the towel.)

The main emotional conflict is that the main character's newborn son is being held by the antagonist, Chronos. Chronos wants to take over/destroy the world, but that was supposed to feel secondary to the urgency the main character feels to get her son back.

The only problem with that was I didn't give two shakes about the baby. There was literally nothing about the baby, or the descriptions of the baby, or anything, that I cared about. The baby could have been made of cardboard for all I cared. I found it easier to care more about billions of faceless, abstract people than I did about one baby.

Beyond that, the melodrama was just too much. The main character blames herself for everything, then turns around and snaps at her BFF(s) for saying something similar. It's her fault Chronos escaped, it's her fault he wants to destroy the world, it's her fault he can't be defeated, etc. etc.

Woop-de-doo. Overall, I advise you to not bother with anything but the first book of the trilogy. That one, at least, was mostly enjoyable, but it was all downhill from there.
