So, obviously I was ready to get my fangirl on. The overall premise outside of Cara herself was far more interesting, with a promise of a redo of the Titanomachy, which sounds EPIC, right? (Or maybe I’m just a mythology nerd. The prospect of a teenage girl unaware of her destiny or power is a common troupe, but I had high hopes that Wampler would avoid most of the clichés. Greek mythology is one of my biggest loves, which is what originally drew me to this story. The overall p Where to start? Honestly, this is a difficult book to review because it feels like there’s so much to cover that can’t be touched on without spoilers, so I’ll only go with the things that won’t ruin the book if you decide to read it.

Highly recommend War of the Gods to anyone who loves Greek Mythology.more With the ending, I am hoping that there will be another story of Cara and Adrian. This would be a fantastic addition to the middle school area of the school library.
