Lore

One of my favorite genre’s is young adult, it’s my comfort zone when it comes to reading. I recently came across this book because I was looking into a book that had been made into a movie and it’s the same author. The book is Lore and the author is Alexandra Bracken. If that name rings a bell it’s because she wrote the best seller The Darkest Minds.

Lore is about a girl Melora Perseous also known as Lore. Long ago she fled and turned her back on the life she once knew. Avon is the punishment for past rebellion where nine Greek gods walk earth as mortals. They are hunted by bloodlines eager to become immortal. As the next Agon approaches two participants are hunting Lore. One a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead and the other one of the last gods.

As of late I’ve been using audible to enjoy books. Lore is narrated by Fryda Wolff. I very much enjoyed this take on Greek mythology. This is definitely not a traditional mythology tale. Also I enjoyed the inclusion of the LGBTQIA community. The book did start out slow however it picks up quickly. If you enjoyed Circe by Madeline Miller then you will love this book.
