Checked Out and Overdue

17. Lore by Alexandra Bracken


Listen Later

Chelsea and Taryn have loved Greek mythology ever since they read their first Percy Jackson book in elementary school. So, of course, they were excited to read another book that dives into the complexities of the family relationships on Mount Olympus. 


In this story, Zeus gets frustrated at the other Olympians for interfering too much in human affairs (which is funny coming from him, but whatever). As a result, he curses them to spend one week every seven years on Earth as mortals. But there’s a catch… if they are killed by one of the families hunting them, their powers transfer to their killer. This story follows Lore, the last of the Perseus line, as she tries to leave that life behind. 


Join the hosts as they discuss Bracken's inventive story. This book has everything you could want, romance, violence, betrayal, childhood best friends, and of course, the whole part with the gods in it. You won't want to miss this one!
