Review: Winter of the Gods

Winter of the Gods by Jordanna Max Brodsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With the success of the live action Wonder Woman movie this book is a good follow up to a character that comes form that kind of world. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one. The previous entry was good as a standalone book. You can just read that and not have to come back to these characters if you didn't like the book. I liked the first book. This one was difficult to get through in the middle portions. There were a few things that came out of left field to fill in gaps that I don't think needed filling. The end of the book leads you want the next book. It almost made the first book a prologue while this is the real first book. I learn a lot about ancient Greek culture and now Roman culture from this writer. She's good but I hope in the next one that we can keep a steady pace like there was with the first book. A little bit too much time was focused on making the protagonist vulnerable to antagonist that she should crush easily. She eventually does but thats towards the end of the book. Those parts felt normal for the character, the earlier stuff didn't fit in my opinion. Other than that I'm looking forward to book three. I think with the release and success of the Wonder Woman these characters fit well for people who want to read a series with a similar kind of lead character.

I read this book via NetGalley. I thank them for this book. But I must note that I received it after it was released. Hence why the very late review. I get busy too you know.
