Seventeen-year-old Gen may have
rescued her beloved father from prison, but she hasn’t saved him yet. If she
fails her end of a bargain with the Olympian Empresses, they will send him
right back to his cell. To keep the Empresses happy, Gen must bring them the
legendary golden apples of Hesperides and the monstrous Cerberus. But both are
rumored to be in the neighboring Elysium Empire, which has a long history of
war with Olympia. Making matters worse, Gen’s former enemy and newly designated
heir to the isle of Arcadia Castor invites herself on the journey, hoping a
golden apple could end Arcadia’s reliance on Illumium for storm vials. And
Castor’s twin brother, Gen’s StormMaker boyfriend Pollux, has been pulling away
from Gen due to troubles stemming from her mind magic. With Castor’s
pirate-thief girlfriend and Pollux’s servant companion in tow, the unlikely
team embarks on its voyage. But war is only an insult away in Elysium, and more
than the Emperor has their eyes on Gen’s mission. The quest has caught the
attention of one of Elysium’s Oracles, and trouble is sure to brew with
Prophecy on the rise.
My thoughts:
I'm a few chapters in Clash of Fate and Fury and eager to read more. I read the first book about a year ago, but it was easy to jump right back into this mythological world. The games from book one are over for everyone but Gen. She either completes the potentially deadly tasks given to her by the Empresses or her father will be sent back to prison. Castor is looking for a way to save her kingdom that doesn't include marrying a man she doesn't love. Pollux is ready to separate himself from his father and kingdom forever. Seeing as Gen and Castor hate each other, this should be an interesting and fun story.
While you can probably read this book without reading book one, I suggest starting with Game of Strength and Storm.
