Lore by Alexandra Bracken

Lore by Alexandra Bracken-466 pages

 Lore is the story of Melora Perseous the last of the line of the god Perseus. The Agon happens every 7 years since the gods sparked Zeus' rage and anger. Every 7 years, the gods become mortal for 7 days and the lines of the old gods hunt down the gods to try and ascend to become gods themselves. Lore is in the middle of all this. Her entire family was murdered the day after the last Agon, 7 years ago. She is now the only Perseide left and has been trying to stay hidden. However, she is drawn back into her old life and into the Agon by Athena. Will Lore and her friends survive the Agon? I enjoyed reading this standalone teen novel by Bracken. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as some of my favorite books and authors. It is worth reading, though, especially if you're into Greek mythology and/or teen fantasy.
