I want to preface this by saying I don't care if the book wasn't exactly 5 stars (there were little things I could nit pick) it made me happy so it gets 5 stars for me. Also I am a fan of greek mythology but I know none of the specifics (I've got the vibe of them from retellings but I have yet to look at origin stories) and I'm bad with names because it was an audio arc

This book was told from the perspective of Helen, Patroclus, and Achilles. Helen is to be married through a competition and as a 'fuck you' to the 13 she enters herself; Fighting along side Achilles and Patroclus (among others) for her hand in marriage AND a title among the 13...

I have been looking for some good 'no thoughts, just vibes' escapism lately and this was *chef's kiss*, yes I liked the way the characters developed, but the relationship and dynamics between the three of them!!!! They have my favourite pairing of personalities; they are all overall highly protective of their loved ones, low-key depressed and just looking for a found family, i.e massive adorable softies BUT they are all snippy and stubborn about it. I was having so much fun with the banter, which kinda leads me into my next point. I was fully giggling during the spice because of the ways they -lovingly- bite back at each other and it's usually dripping in sarcasm. The spice on its own was so good too(may have bias because I its my fav trio of personalities) but, this series is my first time reading Katee Robert and I can't wait to read more!

*thank you netgalley for the arc*
