Description of book
THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'This was damn fun…You won’t be able to stop yourself from binge-reading this' Raven Kennedy, New York Times bestselling authorStep into the Coliseum at the Spartan War Academy where monsters are made, immortality is won, and even a god can die…Alexis Hert isn’t a hero, and she certainly isn’t a god. All she’s ever been is a survivor.
But the Fates disagree.
When a blood test leads to her admittance at the Spartan War Academy, she’ll have to do more than merely survive.
Alexis will have to claim her birthright: immortality.
But immortality is a privilege, one earned in the crucible of the academy, where the heroes are villains and classrooms battlegrounds. While gladiators Achilles and Patro, her demanding mentors, hone her into a warrior, Augustus and Kharon, her professors and the brooding heirs to the underworld, haunt her steps and her thoughts.
Because where there are gods, there are bound to be monsters, and there is more than one hunting Alexis…

Tämä oli kuunneltava kerralla. Hyvin kirjoitettu, päähenkilö oli mielenkiintoinen ja välillä hupaisan hauska. Tarinassa oli riittävästi juonta ja yllätyksiäkin.A must-read

Paula
Amazing! Dark but funny, the academy “life or death”part is reminiscent of fourth wing. I do wish instead of similar chapters about the crucible there would have been more info about the world and more time spent with other characters (e.g. the mentors) but still thoroughly enjoyed the book! Also I think this is one of those rare instances where the audiobook actually adds to the story and experience as the female narrator is absolutely amazing!A must-read
