It wasn’t quite the book I was expecting, but that’s not a bad thing. And no need to worry about the power scale getting out of hand, something that is worth being worried about, when godly powers get brought into the mix. She got to have her story, and there’s no need to worry about what will happen next. Lore’s adventures were grand and epic, but they ended with the book. One of the things I enjoyed about Lore is that it is a rare standalone novel. “I was born knowing how to do three things – how to breathe, how to dream, and how to love you.” There are many elements in this tale that do hit close to home, such as the treatment of women in this middle world that knows about gods and goddesses. It actually makes a twisted sort of sense, as it is so easy to picture people doing exactly that. Or rather, how the mortal world hunts them for their power. I love the idea of a world where gods hit the earth in a cyclical pattern (reminds me of T he Wicked + The Divine), and how they’re forced to interact with the mortal world. Lore’s story is compelling and fast-paced, merging ideas from mythology with the modern world in such a fascinating way. So, did it live up to that hype? I’d argue that it did. The fact that it’s been hyped so much just made me all the more eager to read it. As a huge sucker for all things mythology, I just knew that I was going to have to set aside some time to read Lore.
