![]() ![]() ![]() Lore is Alexandra Bracken's first standalone novel since her debut (which I should read soon). The story absolutely sprints from this point. She is unsuccessful when a wounded Athena shows up on her doorstep and demands Lore help her. Lore's family was murdered in the previous Agon, and she has completely cut ties from her previous life and is trying to stay out of the Agon entirely. ![]() ![]() The descendants of different old school Greek heroes must hunt down these gods (Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Posiden, and Dionysus) who are made mortal for the 7 days, and if successfully killed the person who did it takes that gods immortality and aspects of their power. The Agon happens every 7 years and is a punishment for 9 of the Greek gods who defied Zeus back in the day. It is the story of our main character, Lore, an orphan living in NYC, who we meet as a competition called the Agon begins. Lore is being pitched as Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games, which is a pretty solid comp. ![]()
